lubri-
cation.

filled. Lack of oil will quickly
ruin the bar and
chain.
Too littIe eil will cause

This engine
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration
of the bar.

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.

oil must be free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil
for adequate
lubrication.

cation.

stop the engine
before removing
the oil cap.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or meth-
anol) can attract moisture which leads to sepa-
ration and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.
To avoid engine prob-
lems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
tank. start the engine and _et it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See STORAGE
