WARNING:

FUELING
ENGINE
This
engine
is
certified
to
operate
on
unleaded
gasoline.
Before
operation,
gasoline
must be mixed with a good quatity
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) of oil with 1 gallon (4
liters) of unleaded gasoline.
Included with this
saw is a 3.2 ounce container of Poulan/WEED
EATER brand synthetic
oil. Pour the entire
contents
of this container
into
1 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
conth_uous _ubri-
cation.
Lubrication
is provided
by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly
ruin the bar and
chain.
Too littIe 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 Poulan
PRO
bar and
chain oil is recommended
to protect your unit
against
excessive
wear
from
heat
and
friction.
Poulan
or Poulan
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
(caHed 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
shouM
be emptied
before
storage
for 30
days or longer.
Drain the gas tank. start the
engine and let it run unti_ the fueI lines and
carburetor
are empty.
Use fresh fuel next
season.
See STORAGE
section for addi-
tional information.
