FUEL HANDLING
Chain oil
•We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good adhesion characteristics.
•Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain.
•It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
•In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.
•Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Extra chain oil
Under EXTREME conditions the chain and bar may require extra chain oil. The oil flow should only be increased when the engine is running and the chain rotating. Push the lever to the right, where it will automatically be held in the locked position. Press in the lever button to release it.
STOP | STOP |
Note: It is not necessary to pump continuously. When the extra oil flow has been activated oil consumption increases by
Fueling
WARNING! Taking the following
!precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before refuelling.The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should therefore always fill the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapor are highly
! flammable. Take care when handling fuel and chain oil. Be aware of the risks of fire, explosion and those associated with inhalation.
