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 m0 ofoil with 1 gallon (4
liters) of u nleaded 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 boatoil.
These
oils will cause engine damage.
When mixing
fuel
fotlow
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 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 pump enough oil
for adequate
lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan
or Poulan
PROQ) bar and
chain oil is recommended
to protect your unit
against
excessive
wear
from
heat
and
friction.
Poulan or Poulan PRO®
oH 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 thegns
tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor
are empty.
Use fresh fuel next
season.
See STORAGE

tional information.
