MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester (if equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUGS

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing sea- son or after every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 13)

The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor, replacement is required.

•With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sections.

•Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow pointing towards carburetor.

•Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are properly positioned.

•Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

CLEANING

FIG. 13

•Cleanengine,battery,seat,finish,etc.ofallforeignmatter.

•Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.

•Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans- mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and mower.

433401 specifications

The Poulan 433401 is a remarkable chainsaw that embodies a blend of power, efficiency, and user-friendly design. Ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, this model is thoughtfully engineered to handle a variety of cutting tasks, from felling trees to pruning shrubs.

One of the most notable features of the Poulan 433401 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a 33cc two-stroke engine, it delivers ample power while maintaining a lightweight build, which is critical for maneuverability during extended usage. The engine's design allows for efficient fuel consumption, enabling users to maximize their cutting time without frequent refueling. This is particularly useful for those who take on larger jobs or require extended operational periods.

The chainsaw boasts a 16-inch guide bar, making it suitable for a range of cutting applications. The length strikes a balance between efficient cutting and ease of control, making it perfect for both seasoned users and those new to chainsaw operation. The Oregon chain enhances cutting performance, providing smooth and reliable operation while ensuring a clean cut.

One of the standout technologies incorporated into the Poulan 433401 is its automatic oiling system. This essential feature ensures that the chain remains adequately lubricated during operation, reducing friction and wear. The automatic system not only enhances the lifespan of the chain and bar but also ensures optimal performance, allowing users to focus on the task at hand rather than constant maintenance.

Safety features are paramount in the design of the Poulan 433401. It includes a chain brake designed to stop the chain in an event of kickback, which is a common risk when using chainsaws. Additionally, the front and rear handles are ergonomically designed, providing a comfortable grip and reducing user fatigue. This attention to ergonomics helps improve precision and control, particularly during prolonged use.

The Poulan 433401 is also relatively easy to start, thanks to its spring-assisted starter mechanism and purge bulb feature. This makes it accessible to users of all skill levels, eliminating the frustrations often associated with starting smaller engine chainsaws.

Overall, the Poulan 433401 combines power, versatility, and safety. Its innovative design and user-centric features make it a reliable tool for various cutting tasks, setting it apart as a favorable choice in the chainsaw market. Whether for forestry professionals or homeowners looking to maintain their landscapes, the Poulan 433401 stands out as a valuable asset.
