Filling the Tank (Fig. 39)
WARNING: Follow safety instruction for fuel hand- ling. Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 m) from refueling site before star- ting engine (Fig. 38). DO NOT SMOKE!
1.Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2.Loosen fuel cap slowly.
3.Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4.Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
5.Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine during and after first use.
WARNING: Check for fuel leaks, if any are found, correct before use. Contact a Servicing Dealer if necessary.
Chain Oil System (Fig. 40)
The bar and chain require continuous lubrication. Lubrication is provided by the automatic 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 Diesel Fuel or kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil for adequate lubrication.
CAUTION: Never use waste oil. Always use biodegra- dable lubrificant that is specific for bar and chain and that is better for the environment and chainsaw’s parts.
CAUTION: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain.
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Medical studies have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
