TESTING THE CHAIN BRAKE
Always test the chain brake before using the unit and periodically during operation.
Follow these instructions to make sure the chain brake is working correctly:
1. Place the unit on a clear, firm and flat surface.
2. Start the unit. Refer to Starting and Stopping Instructions . Be sure to maintain a
proper grip. Refer to Proper Grip on Handles in the Operating Instructions
section.
3. Pull the chain brake lever back to disengage the chain brake.
4. While the unit is running, squeeze the throttle control trigger to 1/3 throttle and
then engage the chain brake by pushing the chain break lever forward with the
left hand (Fig. 10).
The chain should stop moving abruptly. If it does, immediately release the throttle
control trigger, turn off the engine and return the chain brake to the disengaged
position. Refer to Starting and Stopping Instructions.
If the chain does not stop when the chain brake is engaged, release the throttle
control trigger, stop the engine and have the unit serviced by an authorized service
center.
OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old fuel and improperly mixed fuel are the two main reasons why the unit may not
run properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded gasoline and quality synthetic
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. Do not use automotive oil or boat oil; these oils will
damage the engine.
Obtaining the Correct Fuel/Oil Mixture
Thoroughly mix the proper amount of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded gasoline in a
separate fuel container (do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank). Use a 40:1
fuel/oil ratio. See the table for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
