Filling the Tank (Fig. 39)
WARNING: Follow safety instruction for fuel handling.
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel
to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at
least 10 feet (3 m) from refueling site before starting
engine (Fig. 38). DO NOT SMOKE!
1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly.
3. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up any
fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.
WARNING: Check for fuel leaks, if any are found,
correct before use. Contact a Servicing Dealer if
necessary.
Chain Oil System (Fig. 40)
The bar and chain require continuous lubrication. Lubrication is
provided by the automatic 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 Diesel Fuel or kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for
the oil system to pump enough oil for adequate lubrication.
CAUTION: Never use waste oil. Always use
biodegradable lubrificant that is specific for bar and
chain and that is better for the environment and
chainsaw’s parts.
CAUTION: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the oil
pump, bar, or chain.
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Medical studies
have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer.
