HELPFUL
TIP

.._ To Obtain the correct oil mix
I
p_ ratio,
pour 3.2 ounces
of
I
'/ 2-cycle
synthetic
oil into
I
one gallon of fresh gas.
J
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 ra-
tio of 40:1. Poulan/WEED
EATER brand syn-
thetic oil is recommended.
A 40:t
ratio is
obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces
(95 ml) of oil
with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded
gasoline.
Included with this saw is a 3.2 ounce (95 ml)
container of Poulan/WEED
EATER brand syn-
thetic oil. Pour the entire contents of this con-
tainer into 1 gallon (4 liters)
of gasoline
to
achieve the proper fuel mixture. DO N OT U S E
automotive
or marine
oil.
These
oils will
cause engine damage.
When mixing fuel for
low the instructions
printed on the container.
Always read and follow the safety rules listed
under HANDLE
FUEL WITH CAUTION.
BAR AND
CHAIN
LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require
continuous
_ubri-
cation.
Lubrication
is provided
by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. 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 discoloration
of the bar.
In freezing weather
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.
Bar and chain oil must be free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil
for adequate
lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan bar and chain oil is recom-
mended
to protect your unit against
exces-
sive wear from heat and friction.
Poulan
oil
resists
high temperature
thinning.
If Poulan
bar and chain oil is not available,
use a good grade SAE 30 oil.
• Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubri-
cation.
• Always
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 let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See STORAGE
section for addi-
tional information.

by pulling
the front hand guard back toward the front han-
dle as far as possible, The chain brake must be
disengaged
before cutting with the saw,
,_WARNING:
The chain
must not
move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR-
BURETOR
ADJUSTMENT
within
this
manual, Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot
muffler can cause serious burns.
To stop
