Technical Information                                                               51.2003

  Chainsaw STIHL MS 460 – Series 1128

  MS 460 with wrap-around handle,
  oil pump                                               Oil delivery, oil tank capacity
  As from serial number 1 61 013 422 onwards, the
  previous oil pump 1128 640 3206 will be replaced
  by version 1128 640 3250 on the MS 460 with                                  b
  wrap-around handle.
  The new oil pump is identical with the
  previous version except for the adjusting screw                  a
  1128 647 4803 and pump piston 1128 647 0602.
  The new oil pump delivers up to 0.2 oz. (7 cm³) more
  oil per minute. This is advantageous when using
  long guide bars in hard and dry timbers.

                                                                                                              176TI020 KN
  The new oil pump 1128 640 3250 will also be
  available as an optional special accessory for all
  MS 460 models in future.                               Range a
                                                         The delivery rate of the new oil pump 1128 640 3250
                                                         is almost identical with that of the previous oil pump.
                                                         Range b
                                                         Due to the higher delivery rate of the new oil pump
                                                         1128 640 3250, the oil tank may become empty
                                                         before the fuel tank, with the result that the saw
                                                         chain can run dry.
                                                         To prevent this happening:
                                                         Refill the oil tank when the fuel tank is roughly
                                                         half-full.

Machine handover, retrofit
The user's attention should be drawn particularly to
the need to check and refill the oil tank more
frequently:
.       when selling a model MS 460 with wrap-around
        handle and a serial number greater than
        1 61 013 421;
.       when retrofitting a new oil pump 1128 640 3250
        in a model MS 460.
