HELPFUL
TIP
\ To obtain the correct oilmix
J
t ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of J
2-cycle synthetic oil into J
one gallon of fresh gas.
J
This engh_e is certified
to operate
on un-
leaded 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)
of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded
gaso-
lh_e. Included with this saw is a 3.2 ounce con-
tainer 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 marine
oil
These oils will cause engine damage.
When
mixing fuel foflow 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
lubri-
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 little oH 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
_ubrication.
Genuine
Poulan
PRO®
bar and chain oil is
recommended
to protect
your
unit against
excessive
wear from heat and friction.
Pou-
lan PRO<R; oil resists high temperature
thin-
ning.
if Pou_an PRO: R;
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
gasoho]
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.
