by mixing 3+2 onces
of oil with
1 gallon of

3.2 ounce
container
of Poulan/Weed

Pour the entire contents
of this
container
into 1 gallon of gasoline

BAR AND
CHAIN
LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous
lubrica-
tion. Lubrication
is provided by the automatic
oiler system when the oil tank is kept filled.
Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain.
Too little oil will cause overheating_shown
by
smoke coming from the chain and/or discolor-
ation of the bar.
In freezing weather oil will thicken,
making
it
necessary
to thin bar and chain oil with a small
amoun_
(5 to 10%)
of #1
Diesel
Fuel
or
kerosene.
Bar and chain
<:41must be free
flowthg for the oil system to pump enough oil for
adequate lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan or Poulan
PRO_;
bar and
chain oil is recommended
to protect your unit
against excessive
wear from heat and friction.
Poulan
or Poulan

high
temperature
thinning.
If Poulan
or
Poulan
PRO_; bar and chain oil is not available, use a
good grade SAE 30 oil.
• Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubri-
cation.
• Always stop the engine before removing the
oil cap.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that
alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or meth-
anol) can attract moisture which leads to sepa-
ration and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine prob+
lems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See STORAGE section for addi-
tional information.
