To obtain the correct oilmix
J
p_ ratio,
pour 3.2 ounces
of
J
'/ 2-cycle
synthetic
oil into
J
one gallon of fresh gas.
J
This
engine
is
certified
to
operate
on
unleaded
gasolh_e.
Before
operation,
gasolh_e must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic
2-cycle
air-coo_ed
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 obtah_ed by
mixing 3.2 ounces
(95 ml) of oil with 1 gaIIon (4
liters) of unleaded gasotine.
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
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 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.
Pou_an 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
(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-
tiona} information.
dI_WAHNIN_:
The chain
must not
move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR-
BURETOR
ADJUSTMENT

muffler can cause serious
burns.
To stop
the engine
move
