FUELING ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality
recommend FRIGIDAIRE HOME PRODUCTS brand oil. If you do not use this oil, use a good quality
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.
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.
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.
SNever use waste oil for bar and chain lu- brication.
SAlways stop the engine before removing the oil cap.
