GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The chain oiler provides continuous lu-
brication to the chain and guide bar. Be
sure to fill the bar oil tank when you fill
the fuel tank (Capacity = 6.8 fl. oz.).
For maximum guide bar and chain life,
we recommend you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil is
not available, you may use a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman brand. The oil output
is automatically
metered during opera-
tion, Your saw will use approximately
one tank of bar el! for every tank of fuel
mix. Always fill the bar oil tank when
you fill the fuel tank,
.... FUEUNG ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good
quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We
recommend Craftsman brand oil. Mix
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:i (A
40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces of oil with 1 gatlon of unleaded
gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive oil
or boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel follow the
instructions printed on the container.
Once oil is added to the 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.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicatesthat ak:ohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separationand formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems,the fuel sys-
tem 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 instruc-
tions for additionalinformation.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for additional
information.
