Safety Precautions  \nThis service manual contains detailed descriptions of all the typical repair and servicing procedures for this power tool.  \nAs the design concept of models BR 500, BR 550 and BR 600 is almost identical, the descriptionsand servicing procedures in this manual generally apply to all three models. Differences are described in detail.  \nYou should make use of the illustrated parts lists while carrying out repair work. They show the installed positions of the individual components and assemblies.  \nRefer to the latest edition of the relevant parts list to check the part numbers of any replacement parts.  \nA fault on the machine may have several causes. To help locate the fault, consult the chapter on\"Troubleshooting\" in this manual and the \"STIHL Service Training System\" for all assemblies.  \nRefer to the “Technical Information”bulletins for engineering changes which have been introduced since publication of this service manual. Technical information bulletins also supplement the parts list until an updated edition is issued.  \nThe special servicing tools mentioned in the descriptions are listed in the chapter \"Special Servicing Tools\" of this manual. Use the part numbers to identify the tools in the \"STIHL Special Tools”manual. The manual lists all special servicing tools currently available from STIHL.  \nSymbols are included in the text and pictures for greater clarity.  \nThe meanings are as follows:  \nIn the descriptions:  \n: = Action to b","cbCairMfstEHBExE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairMfstEHBExE","pdf",2762616,62,"English","# Introduction\n## Safety Precautions\n# Specifications\n## Engine\n## Ignition System\n## Fuel System\n## Tightening Torques\n# Troubleshooting\n## Rewind Starter\n## Ignition System\n## Carburetor\n## Engine\n# Rewind Starter / Shroud\n## General\n## Removing and Installing\n# Fuel System\n## Air Filter\n## Carburetor\n## Servicing the Carburetor\n## Adjusting the Carburetor\n## Tank Vent\n## Fuel Hoses/ Pickup Body\n## Fuel Tank\n# Engine\n## Compression\n## Checking / Adjusting Valve Clearances\n## Rocker Arms / Pushrods\n## Cam Followers\n## Cam Gear\n## Muffler/Spark Arresting Screen\n## Flywheel\n## Testing for Leaks\n## Crankshaft\n# Ignition System\n## Ignition Module\n## Ignition Timing\n## Testing the Ignition Module\n## Removing and Installing\n## Spark Plug Boot\n## Testing the Wiring Harness\n# Control Handle\n## Throttle Trigger/Interlock Lever\n## Setting Lever\n## Throttle Cable\n# AV System\n## Spring Elements\n## Backplate\n# Fan\n## Outer Fan Housing\n## Inner Fan Housing\n## Fanwheel\n## Antistatic Wire\n# Special Servicing Tools\n## Servicing Aids","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this service manual for BR 500/BR 550/BR 600?\",\"answer\":\"It provides detailed descriptions of typical repair and servicing procedures for the power tool models BR 500, BR 550, and BR 600, noting that their design concept is almost identical and differences are described in detail.\"},{\"question\":\"How should troubleshooting be handled when a fault occurs?\",\"answer\":\"Use the chapter on “Troubleshooting” in this manual to help locate the fault, and consult the “STIHL Service Training System” for relevant assemblies.\"},{\"question\":\"What safety and parts requirements apply during service work?\",\"answer\":\"Service manuals and technical information bulletins are intended exclusively for properly equipped repair shops and must not be passed to third parties.
