COOLING SYSTEM
HELPFUL TIP
During storageof your gas/
oilmixture, theoil willsepa-
rate from the gas.
We recommend that you
shake the gas can weekly
toinsureproper blendingof
the gas and oil.
To keep the working temperature as low as
possible the machine is equipped with a
cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
S Air intake on the starter
S Air guide plate
S Fins on the flywheel
S Cooling fins on the cylinder
S Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the
cylinder)
Clean the cooling system with a brush after
each use, more often in demanding condi-
tions. A dirty or blocked cooling system re-
sults in the machine overheating which
causes damage to the piston and cylinder.
ENGINE
S Remove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon
of 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air cooled)
through the spark plug opening. Slowly
pullthe starter rope 8to 10times todistrib-
ute oil.
STORAGE
S Replace spark plug with new one of rec-
ommended type and heat range.
S Clean air filter.
WARNING:
Perform the following
steps after each use:
S Allow the engine to cool, and secure the
unit before storing or transporting.
S
Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts,
and bolts. Replace any damaged, broken,
or worn parts.
S Store chain saw and fuel in a well venti-
lated area where fuelvapors cannotreach
sparks or openflames from water heaters,
electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
S Store chain saw with all guards in place
and position chain saw so that any sharp
object cannot accidentally cause injury.
S Store chain saw well out of the reach of
children.
S At the beginning of the next season, use
only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline
to oil ratio.

another.

rust.
