ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch is located on the trigger

handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the

switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-

buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.

This allows you to start the engine with fewer

pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer bulb

by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi-

nal form.

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the

engine to aid in starting. Activate the starting

system by moving the start lever to the START

position. DO NOT squeeze the throttle trigger

until the engine has started and runs. After the

engine starts, allow the engine to warm--up 5

seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger

to deactivate the starting system.

COUPLER

The COUPLER enables optional attach-

ments to be installed on the unit.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during

first 15 minutes of operation. You should

check your chain tension frequently. See

CHAIN TENSION in the SERVICE AND AD-

JUSTMENTS section.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING:

Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you be-

gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,

do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call

1-800-554-6723.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.

HELPFUL TIP

To obtain the correct oil mix

ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of

2--cycle synthetic oil into

one gallon of fresh gas.

This engine is certified to operate on

unleaded

gasoline.

Before

operation,

gasoline must be mixed with a good quality

synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil

designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1.

Poulan/WEED EATER brand synthetic oil is

recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio

of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2

ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of

unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive

oil or marine oil. These oils will cause engine

damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions

printed on container. Once oil is added to

gasoline, shake container momentarily to

assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always

read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel

before fueling your unit.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require lubrication. The chain

oiler provides continuous lubrication to the chain

and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank

when you fill the fuel tank (Capacity = 4.6 fl. oz.).

Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain.

Too little oil will cause overheating shown by

smoke coming from the chain and/or discolor-

ation of the bar. The oil output is automatically

metered during operation. Always fill the bar oil

tank when you fill the fuel tank.
