The new STIHL BR 500, BR 550 and BR 600

backpack blowers are three ideal models for

demanding, professional users.

The BR 500 is especially low-noise yet highly

powerful for use in noise-sensitive areas.

The BR 550 has an attractive price with far above-

average blowing strength.

The BR 600 is particularly powerful - one of the

strongest blowers in the world.

The STIHL 4-MIX engine of the new blowers sets

benchmarks in blowing strength, economy and

environmental friendliness.

Comfort is increased with the simplified starting

procedure. This is realised with the newly designed

control handle and central control section that holds

all operating elements required for starting.

Another innovation is the electrostatic arrester in the

blowing system that protects the user from

electrostatic shock.

The devices are equipped with an adjustable

carrying system with breathing padding for superior

wearing comfort.

The holder for the blowing system makes the

devices easier to transport and saves space in

storage.

1. Technical description

1.1 Blowing system with electrostatic

arrester

The extremely high flow of air from the new blowers

generates friction in the blower tubes. The friction

can build up an electrostatic charge.

The arrester in the blower tube creates a conductive

link to the engine block to prevent the build up of

electrostatic charges that can lead to sparkover.

.Before starting the blower, check to see if it is

intact and seated correctly. If the arrester is

damaged, replace it (see 5.6).

.Never operate the machine without an arrester.

1.2 Control handle

For simplified starting, the choke does not have to

be set on the control handle.

Since the setting lever does not lock at

"Engine Stop" (0), the ignition system is

continuously ready to operate, and the blower can

be started at any time.

.Setting lever (1)

.Throttle trigger (2)

Engine stop (0)

.The ignition system is sent a stop pulse to shut

off the blower.

.The setting lever does not lock but rather

springs back – the ignition system is

automatically ready to operate.

Operating position (#)

.The engine is running or can start – the throttle

trigger can be smoothly actuated.

Set locked position (C)

.The throttle trigger can be locked at three levels:

1/3 gas, 2/3 gas and full throttle.

.To release the locked position, set the setting

lever to #.

1.3 Simplified starting

All operating elements for starting are on a central

control area. Set the starting throttle position with

the choke knob. The choke knob automatically

springs back into operating position after the throttle

trigger is actuated.

.Press the fuel pump bulb at least five times.

.Setting the choke knob:

When the engine is cold l

When the engine is hot n

.Pull the cord until the engine starts; at the latest,

set the choke knob to starting throttle position

nafter the third time the cord is pulled.

.Set the choke knob to the starting throttle

position n

.Continue cranking until the engine runs.

To switch to idle:

.Pull the throttle trigger - the choke knob

automatically jumps to operating position #

.Set the choke knob manually to #

1.4 Blower holder

For storage and transport:

.Affix the Velcro tape to the blower tube, pull the

tab through the cinch.

.Affix the blower tube to the handle opening of

the back plate.

1.5 STIHL 4-MIX engine

The 4-MIX engine works with mixed lubrication.

Unlike a conventional four-stroke engine, the 4-MIX

engine does not have any supply of oil in the

crankcase. The engine is lubricated entirely with a

mixture of petrol and engine oil.

This design yields the following advantages:

.Same fuel

.Lower fuel consumption

.Can be operated in all positions

.Fewer emissions

.Good acceleration

.Compact size – attractive design

.Advantageous power-to-weight ratio

.Easy maintenance – easy to service

.Pleasanter sound – lower noise level

.Fewer vibrations

.Lower starting force

1.5.1 Engine design

Single-cylinder engine with overhead valves.

Cylinder head, cylinder and upper half of crankcase

have been combined into a single unit.

The crankcase is horizontally split along the

crankshaft.

1.5.2 Engine control

.Overhead valves (OHV), one exhaust valve (1)

and one inlet valve (2)

.Valve control via crankshaft gear (3),

cam disk (4), lever (5), pushrod (6) and

rocker arm (7)

.Crossflow scavenging

(= inlet and exhaust on opposite sides)

1.5.3 Engine lubrication

The engine is lubricated in two phases during each

revolution of the crankshaft.

Phase 1

The piston rises to the top dead centre.

The increase in volume in the crankcase produces

a vacuum. From the intake duct (1), the air-fuel-oil

mixture is drawn through the bypass port (2), valve

train (3) and timing gear (4) into the crankcase (5).

The oil contained in this mixture lubricates the

crankgear, timing gear, valve train and cylinder wall.

Phase 2

The piston descends to the bottom dead centre.

Excess pressure builds up in the crankcase due to

the decrease in volume.

The mixture of air, fuel and oil in the crankcase is

returned to the intake duct via the timing gear, valve

train and bypass bore. This rewets the lubrication

points.

1.6 Decompression system

The automatic decompression system reduces the

compression upon starting and hence the required

pull on the starter rope.

Cam disk at low speed (starting):

.Decompression cam (1) projects and actuates

the lever (2)

.This lengthens the valve opening time, which

reduces the compression

Cam disk when the engine has started:

.The centrifugal mechanism retracts the

decompression cam (1) – this cancels the effect

of the decompression cam

1.7 Carburetor

.All-position diaphragm carburetor with

independent idle

.The range of the high-speed adjusting screw (H)

and the low-speed adjusting screw (L) is limited

by limiter caps (approx. 3/4 turn). This limitation

ensures greater operating safety and

maintenance of future exhaust emission levels

.Accelerator pump for faster and spontaneous

acceleration (see 5.3).

.Choke knob with integrated starting throttle

position

1.8 Ignition system

.Microprocessor-controlled with ignition timing

adjustment

.Low power-up threshold

1.9 Air filter

.Large-area paper air filter for long filter service

life

.Easily accessible

1.10 Muffler

.Two-chamber muffler with spark arresting

screen, depending on the market concerned.

1.11 Flywheel

.Weight-optimised geometry

4.2 Special servicing tools

To be procured for the first time for the STIHL

BR 500, 550, 600:

The available special tools are listed in the repair

instructions for the STIHL BR 500, 550, 600.

4.2.1 Stop screw

When servicing, always use stop screw

4282 890 2700.

Stop screw 4180 890 2700 can cause damage to

the piston and crankgear with the 4282.

In the future, stop screw 4180 890 2700 will be

replaced by stop screw 4282 890 2700. Stop screw

4282 890 2700 can also be used for the 4180.

4.2.2 Assembly tool

Use assembly tool 5910 890 2212 for inserting the

snap ring between the piston and piston pin.

The assembly tool must be combined with the new

sleeve 5910 893 1704 for the 4282.
