Poulan 2150, 2075, 2050 Fueling Engine, BAR and Chain Lubrication, Important Points to Remember

Page 9

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slow- ly when refueling.

FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is recommended. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. Included with this saw is a 3.2 ounce container of Pou- lan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil. Pour the entire contents of this container into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.

DO NOT USE automotive or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules listed under HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION.

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 PoulanR bar and chain oil is recom- mended to protect your unit against exces- sive wear from heat and friction. PoulanR oil resists high temperature thinning. If Pou- lanR bar and chain oil is not available, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.

SNever use waste oil for bar and chain lubri-

cation.

S Always stop the engine before removing the oil cap.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol--blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE section for addi- tional information.

WARNING: The chain must not move when the engine runs at idle speed. If the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR- BURETOR ADJUSTMENT within this manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.

To stop the engine move the ON/STOP switch to the STOP position.

To start the engine hold the saw firmly on the ground as illustrated. Make sure the chain is free to turn without contacting any object.

Use only 15”--18” of rope per pull.

Hold saw firmly while pulling starter rope.

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 re- wind slowly.

NOTE: Do not attempt to cut material with the fast idle lock button in the locked position.

The Poulan 1950 and 2055 chainsaws represent a blend of power and precision, designed to cater to both professional loggers and home users alike. These models have made a significant mark in the realm of outdoor power equipment, thanks to their robust features and cutting-edge technologies.

Starting with the Poulan 1950, this chainsaw is equipped with a 50cc engine, delivering plenty of power for a variety of cutting tasks. Its lightweight design allows for maneuverability and ease of use, making it a favorable option for detailed pruning as well as heavier cutting jobs. One of the standout features of the 1950 is its automatic oiling system, which ensures that the chain receives adequate lubrication during operation, extending the life of both the chain and the bar. This model also features a simple pull-start mechanism that enhances user convenience, allowing for quick starts even in cold weather conditions.

Moving on to the Poulan 2055, this chainsaw is slightly more powerful, boasting a 55cc engine that provides increased torque for more demanding tasks. Designed with advanced technologies, the 2055 not only improved performance but also user comfort. It is fitted with a vibration-dampening system, which minimizes vibrations transferred to the user’s hands, reducing fatigue and strain during extended use. Furthermore, the 2055 features an easy-to-access air filter and spark plug, simplifying maintenance and upkeep, which is essential for long-term performance.

In addition to their respective power sources, both models utilize a chain brake system designed to enhance safety. This feature automatically stops the chain rotation if the saw is accidentally dropped or if a kickback situation arises.
