ONIOFF SWITCH
The OH/OFF switch is located on the trigger
handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the
switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to
its original form.
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE
position. After the engine attempts to start, move
the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine has started, move the choke lever
to the OFF CHOKE position.
COUPLER
The COUPLER enables optional attach-
ments to be installed on the unit.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch during
first 15 minutes of operation. You should
check your chain tension frequently. See
CHAIN TENSION in the SERVICE AND AD-
JUSTMENTS section.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING:
Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-554-6723.
FUELING ENGINE
_,WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
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. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of
unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive
oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container.
Once oil is added to 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 lubrication. The chain
oiler provides continuous lubrication to the chain
and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank
when you fill the fuel tank (Capacity = 4.6 fi. oz.).
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 discolor-
ation of the bar. The oil output is aL_omatically
metered during operation. Always fill the bar oil
tank when you fill the fuel tank.
Genuine Poulan® or Poulan PRO® bar and
chain oil is recommended to protect your unit
against excessive wear from heat and fric-
tion. Poulan® or Poulan PRO® oil resists
high temperature thinning. If Poulan@ or
Poulan PRO@ bar and chain oil is not avaiP
able, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.
