WARNING
Never remove the cap by turning it
directly to the open position without first
allowing the saw to cool adequately and
then letting it release any residual
pressure at the vent position (2). Never
attempt to remove the cap while the
engine is still hot or running.
Refueling
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank – leave
approx. 1/2" (13 mm) air space.

N
firmly while turning it clockwise to
the closed position (approximately

housing.
Fold the grip flush with the top of the
N
cap and check for tightness.
WARNING
If the grip does not lie completely flush
with the cap or the detent on the grip
does not fit in the corresponding recess
in the tank opening, or if the cap is loose,
the cap is not properly seated and you
must repeat the above steps. Also refer

If the cap does not drop fully into the fuel
tank opening when the positioning
marks (1, 2) line up, or if it does not
tighten properly when turned, the base
of the cap may be prematurely rotated in
relation to the top. Such misalignment
can result from handling, cleaning or an
improper attempt at tightening.
– Illustrations A and B: The base of
the cap is prematurely rotated to the
closed position and is not in the
correct starting position for
installation. The tank will not seal in
this configuration. Note: in
Illustrations A and B, the interior
positioning marks (1) are in line with
the exterior position marks (2).
– Illustration C: The bottom of the cap
is in the correct starting position for
installation. Note: In Illustration C,
the interior positioning mark (1) is
under the grip and not in line with
the outer position mark (2).
