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 ft. oz.).
Lack of oil wilt 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 automatically
metered during operation. Always fill the bar oil
tank when you fill the fuel tank.

removing
the oil cap.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that alcohol
blended

methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to
separation
and formation
of acids during stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system
of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine
problems,
empty the fuel system before stor-
age 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.
