Description
Overview:
The Ring for Stihl HLE71, HLE71K (4230 642 8200) is a genuine Stihl OEM retaining ring designed for hedge trimmers and long‐reach hedge cutters. Made from durable steel, it secures mating parts so the mechanism stays aligned and runs smoothly under load. This small but critical part helps maintain reliable operation by preventing unwanted movement or loosening in assemblies subject to vibration. It is suited to routine maintenance or repairs on popular Stihl machines such as the HLE 71 and HLE 71 K, and a wide range of HL and FH series models. Use it to replace a worn, bent, or missing ring and keep your equipment performing as intended.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured compatibility and reliability
- Durable steel construction for consistent clamping and long service life
- Precise dimensions for correct fit: length 49 mm (1.93 inches); wire thickness 1.5 mm (0.06 inches)
- Designed for smooth, efficient operation of Stihl hedge trimmers and attachments
- Helps reduce play and vibration by keeping components securely seated
- Easy to fit with basic hand tools as part of regular servicing
- Suitable for preventive maintenance to avoid premature wear on adjacent parts
Typical Applications:
Used during servicing or rebuilds of cutter heads, gear housings, and shaft or linkage assemblies on Stihl hedge trimmers and Kombi attachments. Ideal when a retaining ring shows signs of wear, distortion, or loss of tension, or after disassembly where the original ring should be renewed to maintain secure retention and smooth drive.
