CHAIN TENSION (Including units with chain already installed)

NOTE: When making adjustments to the chain tension make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only. Attempting to tension the chain when the bar nuts are tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the assembly tool to move the chain around the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too tight. If the chain is too loose, it will sag below the bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chain stretches during use. This is especially true during the first few times you use your saw. Always check chain tension each time you use and refuel your saw.

You can adjust the chain tension by loosen- ing the bar clamp nuts finger tight and turning the adjusting screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on the bar.

SIf chain is too tight, turn adjusting

screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

SIf chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw 1/4 turn clockwise.

SLift up the tip of the bar and tighten the bar clamp nuts with the combination screw- driver/wrench.

SRecheck chain tension.

FUELING ENGINE

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. We recommend Poulan or Poulan ProR brand oil. If you do not use this oil, use a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 onces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

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 Poulan or Poulan Pro bar and chain oil is recommended to protect your unit against excessive wear from heat and
