CUTTERS EDGE FIRE RESCUE SAWS/

BREAKING IN THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT:
OIL TANK MUST BE FULL
Although the chain will not turn at idle and no bar and
chain oil will be pumped, this break in procedure must
be performed with the bar and chain installed and
the bar and chain oil tank filled. Also, be sure the chain
brake remains disengaged throughout this procedure.
To perform the initial engine break in, start the saw and let it idle
through a complete tank of fuel. It is advisable to briefly operate
the saw at 3/4 throttle periodically during this procedure to clear
out unburned fuel.
This is an initial engine break in only. The engine will not be
completely broken in until it has been operated through several
tanks of fuel.
NOTE
Cutting clean wood; plywood, trees, etc. (no nails or roofing
material) during the chain stretching procedure and/ or
engine break in procedure will decrease the required time and
result in a more complete break in. If you do cut clean wood
during these procedures make sure you do not exceed
3/4 throttle (75% maximum engine speed).
Proper breaking in of the engine
is a crucial step in the set-up of
your saw. This procedure
allows the cylinder to coat
with oil and seat the piston ring
properly. If you skip this
procedure and run the saw at full throttle,
severe damage to the engine can occur.
WARNING!
During break-in do not run
the engine at full throttle for
more than 2 seconds or engine
damage may occur.
WARNING!
