FUELING ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must bemixed with agood quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine o il
designed tobemixed ata ratio o f40:1.
Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oilis
recom mended. Mix g asoline and o il a t a ratio
of 4 0:!. A 40:1 r atio isobtained by mixing 3.2
ounces (95 ml) ofoil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of
unleaded gasoline, thcluded with t his s aw is
a3.2 ouncecontainer ofoil. P our the entire
contents ofthis container into 1gallon of
gasoline toachieve the
proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These
oils will came engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on container.
Once oil is addedto gasoline, shake container
momentarily to assure that the fuel is
thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the
safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your
unit.
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 of oil 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 pure p 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. PoulanorPoulanPRO® oilresists
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 lubd-
cation.
• Always stop the engine before removing
the o_Icap.
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 if run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See STORAGE section for eddb
tional information.

move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR-
BURETOR ADJUSTMENT within this
