Stihl 026 engine cylinder shroud

[farmers036]

I was just wondering if any of you guys knew what the hole on top cover on the pto side of the saw was for I’ve asked stihl dealers and they keep saying it’s for the heated handle but we’ve got a 026 with a heated handle and there’s nothing in that hole I’ll attach some pictures to this post it’s kinda a off the wall question but I haven’t found anyone that could answer it yet.

It is for "Air quide" for "Arctic" upgrade:

The early ones don’t have it.

I was going to suggest it was for a Koozie holder attachment.
