MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
All chain saw service, other than items listed here in
your user manual maintenance instructions, should
be performed professional.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A good preventive maintenance program of regular
inspection and care will increase life and improve
performance of your Talon chain saw. This
maintenance checklist is a guide for such a program.
Cleaning, adjustment, and parts replacement may be
required, under certain conditions, at more frequent
intervals than those indicated.
AIR FILTER
CAUTION
: Never operate saw without the air filter.
Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and damage it.
Keep the air filter clean!
TO CLEAN AIR FILTER:
1.
Remove the top cover (A) by loosening the cover
retaining screws. Cover will lift off. (Fig. 18)
2.
Lift the air filter (B) out of air-box (C) (Fig. 18).
3.
Clean air filter. Wash filter in clean, warm, soapy
water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry
completely.
NOTE:
It is advisable to have a supply of spare
filters.
4.
Install air filter. Install engine / air filter cover.
Make sure cover fits properly. Tighten the cover
retaining screws securely.
WARNING
: Never perform maintenance when the
engine is hot, to avoid any chance of burning
hands or fingers.
FUEL FILTER
CAUTION:
Never use the saw without a fuel filter.
After 20 hours in operation the fuel filter should be
cleaned or, in case of damage, replaced. Be sure to
empty the fuel tank before changing the filter.
1.
Remove the fuel tank cap.
2.
Bend a piece of soft wire.
3.

Carefully pull the fuel line toward the opening
until you can reach it with your fingers.

Do not pull hose completely out of tank.
4.
Lift filter (A) out of tank (Fig. 19).
5.
Pull off the filter with a twist and clean it; if the
filter is damaged, dispose of it.
6.
Insert a new filter. Place one end of the filter into
the tank opening. Make sure that the filter is
seated in the lower corner of the tank. If
necessary, use a long screwdriver to move the
filter to its correct position, taking care not to
damage in the process.
7.
Fill tank with fresh fuel / oil mixture. See Section
FUEL AND LUBRICATION
. Install fuel cap.
SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN (Fig. 20A)

A clogged spark arrester screen will
dramatically reduce engine performance.

Remove the 2 bar retaining nuts (A) and loosen
the 2 screws (B) that secure the chain brake
cover (Fig. 20A).
2.
