FUELING
ENGINE
This engh_e is certified
to operate
on un-
leaded
gasolh_e.
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.
Mix gas-
oline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is
obtained
by mixh_g 3.2 ounces
(95 ml) of oil
with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded
gasoline.
Included with this saw is a 3.2 ounce contain-
er of oil. Pour the entire contents
of this con-
tainer into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve
the
proper fuet mixture.
DO NOT USE automo-
tive oil or boat oiL These oils wiII cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions
printed on container. Once oil is added to gaso-
line, 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 quicMy 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 oit system to pump enough oil
for adequate
lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan bar and chain oil is recom-
mended
to protect
your unit against
exces-
sive wear from heat and friction. Poulan
oil
resists
high temperature
thinning,
If Poulan
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,

must
not
move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR-
BURETOR
ADJUSTMENT
