FUELING & LUBRICATION
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING
:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling
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 Jonsered brand oil mixed at a
ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 5 liters of unleaded gasoline with
0.125 liter of oil. If you do not use this oil, use
a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled oil
designed to be mixed at a ratio of 1:33 (A
1:33 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of
unleaded gasoline with 0.15 liters of oil.
When mixing fuel follow the instructions
printed on the container. Always read and
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before
fueling your unit.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
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.
Only use Bar and Chain Oil for bar and chain
lubrication.
