GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The bar and chain require lubrication. The

chain oiler provides lubrication to the

chain and guide bar . Be sure to fill the bar

oil tank before each cutting session. 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

discoloration of the bar . For maximum

guide bar and chain life, we recommend

you use Poulan or Poulan Pro

R

chain

saw bar oil. If Poulan or Poulan Pro

R

bar

oil is not available, you may use a good

grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to ob-

tain Poulan or Poulan Pro

R

brand. Use a

funnel to fill the tank. Replace oil cap se-

cure ly. C heck oil level after every 15 min-

utes of operation.
