ly when refueling.
FUELING
ENGINE
This
engine
is certified
to
operate
on
unleaded
gasoline.
Before
operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic
2-cycle
air-cooled
engine
oil
designed
to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1.
Poulan/Weed
Eater brand synthetic
oil is
recommended.
A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by
mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) ofoil with I gallon (4
liters)of unleaded gasoline.
Included withthis
saw is a 3.2 ounce container of Poulan/Weed
Eater brand synthetic
oil.
Pour the entire
contents
of this container
into f gallon of
gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive
or boat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage.
When mixing
fuel follow the instructions
printed
on the
container. Always read and follow the safety
rules
listed
under HANDLE
FUEL WITH
CAUTION.
BAR AND CHAIN
LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous
lubri-
cation.
Lubrication
is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack ofoil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration
of the bar.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary
to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount (5 to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or
kerosene.
Bar and chain oil must be free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil
for adequate
lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan or Pouian PRO®
bar and
chain oil is recommended
to protect your unit
against
excessive
wear
from
heat
and
friction.
Poulan orPoulan
PRO®
oil resists
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
methanol)
can attract moisture which leads
to separation
and formation
of acids during
storage.
Acidic gas can damage
the fuel
system
of an engine while in storage.
To
avoid
engine
problems,
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.
