FUELING ENGINE

_h',WARNING: Removefuel capslowly

when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 50:1. (A 50:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 2.5 ounces ofoil with 1

gallon of unleaded gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive or boat oil. These oils will cause

enginedamage. When mixing fuel followthe instructions printed on the containe_ 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 Husqvarna bar and chain oil is rec- ommended to protect your unit against exces- sive wear from heat and friction. Husqvarna oil resists high temperature thinning.

If Husqvarna bar oil is not available, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.

•Never use waste oil for bar and chain lu- brication.

•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.

The Husqvarna 141 and 136 chainsaws are remarkable tools designed for both homeowners and forestry professionals, offering reliable performance and ease of use. These models are particularly well-suited for light to moderate cutting tasks, making them ideal for trimming bushes, felling small trees, and cutting firewood.

One of the key features of the Husqvarna 141 and 136 is their lightweight design, which facilitates effortless maneuverability. Weighing in at around 10.5 pounds, these chainsaws are easy to handle for extended periods, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. This is especially beneficial for users who may not have extensive experience with chainsaws.

Another highlight of these models is the powerful engine. The Husqvarna 141 is equipped with a 40cc engine, while the 136 features a slightly smaller 35cc engine. Both engines utilize a two-stroke design that maximizes performance and efficiency. The X-Torq technology integrated into these models minimizes harmful emissions and enhances fuel efficiency, making them environmentally friendly options in the market.

In terms of safety features, both chainsaws come with a chain brake that is activated in the event of kickback, providing an extra layer of protection for the operator. The anti-vibration technology significantly reduces vibrations, allowing for more comfortable operation and limiting operator fatigue.

The easy-start system is another practical feature of the Husqvarna 141 and 136. This system helps users start the chainsaw with minimal effort, ensuring that you can get to work quickly without dealing with frustrating starting issues. Additionally, both models feature an adjustable oil pump that allows the user to control the amount of oil delivered to the chain, which ensures optimal lubrication and extends the life of the chainsaw.

Maintenance is straightforward with the Husqvarna 141 and 136, thanks to tool-less chain tensioning and a quick-release air filter. This design simplifies the process of adjusting the chain and cleaning the air filter, ensuring that the chainsaw remains in peak working condition.

In summary, the Husqvarna 141 and 136 chainsaws deliver a blend of lightweight design, powerful engines, advanced technologies, and essential safety features. These models are an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and efficient tool for various cutting tasks around the home or for light commercial use.
