Acceleration Check
tf the engine dies or hesitates instead of
accelerating, turn the low speed mixture
adjustment counterclockwise until you
have smooth acceleration with no chain
movement at idle. Recheck and adjust
as necessary for acceptable perfor-
mance.
Prepare your unit for storage at the
end of the season or if it wilt not be
used for 30 days or more.
A_I,WARNING:
• Allow the engine to coot, and secure
the unit before storing or transport-
ing.
• Store chain saw and fuel in a well
ventilated area where fuel vapors
cannot reach sparks or open flames
from water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
• Store chain saw with all guards in
place and position chain saw so that
any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury.
• Store chain saw well out of the reach
of children.
EXTERNAL SURFACES
If your chain saw is to be stored for a
period of time, clean it thoroughly be-
fore storage. Store in a clean dry area.
• Lightly oil external metaI surfaces
and guide bar,
• Oil the chain and wrap it in heavy pa-
per or cloth.
FUEL SYSTEM
Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-
TION section of this manuaI, see mes-
sage labeled IMPORTANT regarding
the use of gasohol in your chain saw.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter-
native in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel
tank or fuel storage container, Follow
the mix instructions found on stabilizer
containers. Run engine at least 5 min-
utes after adding stabilizer.
Craftsman 40:1,2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) is especially blended with fuel
stabilizer, tf you do not use this Sears
oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer to your
fuel tank.
ENGINE
• Remove spark plug and pour 1 tea-
spoon of 40:1,2-cycle engine oit (air
cooled) through the spark plug open-
ing. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to
10 times to distribute oil.
• Replace spark plug with new one of
recommended type and heat range.
• Clean air filter.
• Check entire unit for loose screws,
nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam-
aged, broken, or worn parts.
• At the beginning of the next season,
use only fresh fuel having the proper
gasoline to oil ratio.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one sea-
son to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts
to rust.
