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.
CHAIN TENSION (Including units with
chain already installed)
NOTE: When adjusting chain tension,
make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the
bar nuts are tight can cause damage.
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.
Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the combination
screwdriver/wrench tool to move the chain
aroundthe bar.Ifthe chain does not rotate, it
is too tight. Iftoo loose, the chain will sagbe-
low the bar.

chain oil is recommended to protect your
unit against excessive wear from heat and
friction. POULAN or POULAN PRO oil resists
