object.

We
recommend Poulan/Weed EaterR brand 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 40:1  (A 40:1 ratio  is obtained  by
mixing  3.2  ounces  of oil  with  1  gallon  of
unleaded
gasoline).

IMPORTANTPOINTS TOREMEMBER
When pulling the starter rope, do not use the
full extent  of the rope as this can cause the
rope to break.  Do  not let starter rope  snap
back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind
slowly.
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.
For cold  weather  starting,  start the  unit at
FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up
before squeezing the throttle  trigger.
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
