Chain oil ﬁlter (Fig. 39)

Remove the oil ﬁlter and thoroughly wash it in solvent.

Fig. 39

Cleaning the cylinder ﬁns (Fig. 40)

When wood chips are caught between cylinder ﬁns (40), the engine may overheat, resulting in lower output. To avoid this, always keep cylinder ﬁns and fan case clean.

Every 100 operating hours, or once a year (more often if conditions require), clean ﬁns and external surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits which can contribute to improper cooling.

Fig. 40

Cleaning the muﬄer (Fig. 41)

Remove the muﬄer and spark arrestor, if so equipped, and clean out any excess carbon from the exhaust port or muﬄer inlet every 100 hours of operation.

For long-term storage

Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.

Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.

LOWERING DEPTH GAUGES WITH A FILE

1) If you sharpen your cutters with a ﬁle holder, check and lower the depth.

2) Check depth gauges every third sharpening.

3) Place depth gauge tool on cutter. If depth gauge projects, ﬁle it level with the top of the tool. Always ﬁle from the inside of the chain toward an outside cutter. (Fig. 44)
