Under extreme winter conditions (temperatures below +14 °F (-10 °C), powdered or drifting snow), it is recommended to mount the cover plate (special accessory) on the fan housing.

The partial covering of the slits in the fan housing keeps out powdered or drifting snow.

When the cover plate is mounted, the slide must be in winter position in the carburetor box cover.

NIf the chain saw is extremely cold (frost formation) – after starting, bring the engine up to operating temperature at increased idle speed (disengage chain brake!)

NIf engine trouble occurs, first check whether use of the cover plate is necessary
