CLEANING THE COOLING FINS
ON THE CYLINDER
Remove the carburetor compartment cover by first
opening the two carburetor compartment latches
(1 & 2) and remove the top of the compartment that
includes the main filter. Next, loosen the two
screws; A & B. Then loosen the one cylinder head
cover screw, C. (Fig. 35)
Remove the cylinder head cover. Check the cooling
fins (Fig. 36) for excess buildup of tar and debris. If
necessary, scrape clean or clean with a solvent.
REASSEMBLY
When you have completed all maintenance
procedures, reassemble the saw paying attention
to flip the guide bar over before you reassemble
the saw.
Flip the guide bar each time you reassemble the
saw. This provides even wear on the guide bar.
Reference the logo position each time the bar is
flipped (Fig. 30 - See page 16).
For specific engine adjustments and settings,
consult the accompanying chainsaw operations
manual.
FINAL MAINTENANCE CHECK
When the maintenance and cleaning is completed
check to make sure all nuts and screws are properly
retightened. Start and run the saw briefly.
Shut off and store for its next use.
The heat exchanging action of the
cooling fins is critical to cooling the
engine. If the fins are coated with
tar or blocked by debris over heating
and engine damage can occur!
