NGrip the cap and check for tightness.

Misalignment of the cap parts

NIf the cap does not drop fully into the opening when the positioning marks line up and/or if the cap does not tighten properly when twisted, the base of the cap may be rotated out of position vis-à-vis the top.

NSuch misalignment can result from handling, cleaning or an improper attempt at tightening.

NTo correct a misalignment, turn the cap (with the grip up) until it drops fully into the tank opening.

NTwist the cap counterclockwise as far as it will go (approx. 1/4 turn) – this will twist the base of the cap into the correct position.

NTwist the cap clockwise, closing it normally – see the sections "Closing" and "Checking for proper closure."

NIf your cap still does not tighten properly, it may be damaged or broken; immediately stop use of the unit and take it to your authorized STIHL dealer for repair.
