F. BAR AND GHAIN LUBRICANT

•The Guide Bar and Cutting Chain require continuous tubdcation in order to remain in

operating condition. 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 shownby smokecoming fromthe chainand/ordiscolora- tion of the guide bar rails.

•Genuine Poulan ®Bar and Chain Oil is recom-

mended to protect your unit against excessive wearduetoheat and friction. Poulan_ lubricant

resistshigh temperature thinning. If Poulan® bar and chainoilisnotavailable,usea good gradeSAE 30 oil. Never use waste oil for this purpose.

•In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a small amount of Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flow- ing for the,oil system to pump enough oil for ad- equate lubrication.

3.ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC OILER

eThe adjustable automatic oiler is set for max- imum output at the factory. Some types of cutting will require adjusting the oiler.

--less oil is required for soft or freshly cut wood.

-- maximum oil is required for hardwood or wood that has been cut for a period of time.

eThe adjusting screw is located at the bottom of the saw on the crankcase next to the bar clamp

housingand canbe adjustedwiththe screwdriver end of the scrench provided with your saw.

eif the oiler is adjusted to decrease the oil flow, be sure to readjust the oiler before returningto types of cutting that require greater lubrication.

eWhen the saw isrun at high RPM'sfor long periods of time during certain types of cut-

ting, such as pruning or debranching, more oil can be delivered than is required. Toavoid runn-

ing out of chain oil before running out of fuel, check the oil tank periodically,

4.IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

a.Fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel tank to ensure there wilt be sufficient o_1for the

chain whenever you start and run the saw

b.Keep sawdust and debris cleaned from the oil holes in the guide bar to allow an adequate o_1flow to the bar and chain.

C.Keep spilled and spattered oil wiped from the unit to avoid sawdust and debris build-up. Pay

particular attention to oil on the fan housing and starter assemblyto avoid overheating the engine.

d.It is normal for a small amount of oil to ap-

pear under the saw after the engine stops. This is due to oil draining from the bar and chaln when not in use,
