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.
Use only 15”---18” of rope per pull.
Hold saw firmly while pulling starter  rope
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.
Important points to remember
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.
For cold weather starting,  start the unit at
full choke; allow the engine  to warm up be-
fore squeezing the throttle  trigger.
Do not cut material with the choke/fast  idle
lever at the FULL position.
Genuine  POULAN or POULAN  PRO bar  and
chain oil is recommended to protect your unit
against   excessive   wear  from   heat  and
friction.   POULAN or POULAN PRO oil resists
high  temperature  thinning.    If  POULAN  or
POULAN
PRO  bar   and   chain  oil   is  not
available, use a good grade  SAE 30 oil.
S
Never use waste oil for bar and chain lu-
brication.

Always stop the engine before removing
the oil cap.
