15 STORING A CHAIN SAW
Caution: never store a chain saw for longer than 30 days without
performing the following procedures. Storing a chain saw for longer than
30 days requires storage maintenance. Unless the storage instructions are
followed, fuel remaining in the carburettor will evaporate, leaving gum-like
deposits. This could lead to difficult starting and result in costly repairs.
▪ Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel
tank.
▪ Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops to remove fuel from carburettor.
▪ Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
▪ Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
▪ Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly
several times to coat internal components. Replace spark plug.
Note: store the unit in a dry place and away from possible sources of
ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
Removing a unit from storage
▪ Remove spark plug.
▪ Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from combustion chamber.
▪ Clean and gap spark plug or install a new spark plug with proper gap.
▪ Prepare unit for operation.
▪ Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture. See fuel and lubrication section.
