SERVICE DATES

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tiller does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain tiller as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your tiller.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and check tines and belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

Check engine oil level.

Check tine operation.

Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated (See “LUBRICATION CHART”).

Additionally, the tool-less chain tensioning system allows for quick adjustments, making it easier for users to maintain optimal cutting conditions without needing additional tools.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the lightweight design of the Poulan 401434. Weighing in at just around 10 pounds, this chainsaw is easy to maneuver, reducing user fatigue and making it suitable for prolonged use. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, allowing for precise control during cutting tasks.
