SAFETY RULES

WARNING

:

Always disconnect
spark plug wire and place wire where it can­not contact spark plug to prevent accidental
starting when setting up, transporting, ad­justing or making repairs except carburetor
adjustments.
Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood­cutting tool, special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.
Careless or improper use of this tool can
cause serious injury.

PLAN AHEAD

S

Read this manual carefully until you com­pletely understand and can follow all safe­ty rules, precautions, and operating in­structions before attempting to use the
unit.

S

Restrict the use of your saw to adult users
who understand and can follow safety
rules, precautions, and operating instruc­tions found in this manual.

S

Wear protective gear. Always use steel­toed safety footwear with non-slip soles;
snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty, non-slip
gloves; eye protection such as non-fog­ging, vented goggles or face screen; an
approved safety hard hat; and sound barri­ers (ear plugs or mufflers) to protect your
hearing. Regular users should have hear­ing checked regularly as chain saw noise
can damage hearing. Secure hair above
shoulder length.

S

Keep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.

S

Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 10 Meters away from the work
area. Do not allow other people or animals
to be near the chain saw when starting or
operating the chain saw.

S

Do not handle or operate a chain saw
when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you
have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Y ou must be in good physical condition
and mentally alert. Chain saw work is
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating a
chain saw.

S

Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad­vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.

OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY

S

Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by­standers or any combination of these per­sons may result from one-handed opera­tion. A chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.

S

Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti­lated outdoor area.

S

Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree, unless you are specifically trained to
do so.

S

Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.

S

Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control when the cut is completed.

S

Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.

S

Be alert for springback when cutting a limb
that is under tension so you will not be
struck by the limb or saw when the tension
in the wood fibers is released.

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER

S

Have all chain saw service performed by a
qualified service dealer with the exception of
the items listed in the maintenance section of
this manual. For example, if improper tools
are used to remove or hold the flywheel
when servicing the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel can occur and cause the fly­wheel to burst.

S

Make certain the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to “Carburetor Adjust­ments.”

S

Never modify your saw in any way. Use
only attachments supplied or specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.

S

Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.

S

With the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a guide bar
cover.

S

Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas­teners securely tightened.

S

Use only Jonsered accessories and re­placement parts as recommended.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION

S

Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.

S

Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
There should be no smoking, open flames,

4

or work that could cause sparks. Allow en­gine to cool before refueling.

S

Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on bare
ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well venti­lated place; and use an approved, marked
container for all fuel purposes. Wipe up all
fuel spills before starting saw.

S

Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel­ing site before starting engine.

S

Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a
non-combustible area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.

S

Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open
flames from water heaters, electric motors
or switches, furnaces, etc.

KICKBACK

WARNING

:

Kickback can occur
when the moving chain contacts an object at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause
the chain to dig into the object, which stops
the chain for an instant. The result is a light­ning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator. If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back toward the operator. Either of these
reactions can cause loss of saw control
which can result in serious injury.

Guard

against kickback.
Rotational Kickback

is the rapid upward
and backward motion of the chain saw that
can occur when the moving saw chain near
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
contacts an object such as a log or a branch.
Pinch-Kickback and Pull-In occur when the
chain is suddenly stopped by being pinched,
caught, or by contacting a foreign object in
the wood. This sudden stopping of the chain
results in a reversal of the chain force used to
cut wood and causes the saw to move in the
opposite direction of the chain rotation.
Pinch-Kickback drives the saw straight back
toward the operator. Pull-In pulls the saw
away from the operator. Either reaction can
result in loss of control and serious injury.

Avoid Pinch--Kickback:

S

Be extremely aware of situations or obstruc­tions that can cause material to pinch the top
of or otherwise stop the chain.

S

Do not cut more than one log at a time.

S

Do not twist the saw as the bar is with­drawn from an undercut when bucking.

Avoid Pull--In:

S

Always begin cutting with the engine at full
speed and the saw housing against wood.

S

Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.

Kickback Path

Avoid Obstructions

Clear The Working Area

REDUCETHECHANCEOF
KICKBACK

S

Recognize that kickback can happen.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.

S

Never let the moving chain contact any ob­ject at the tip of the guide bar.

S

Keep the working area free from obstruc­tions such as other trees, branches, rocks,
fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any
obstruction that your saw chain could hit
while you are cutting through a particular log
or branch.

S

Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase
the chance of kickback occurring. Follow
manufacturer’s chain sharpening and main­tenance instructions. Check tension at regu­lar intervals with the engine stopped, never
with the engine running. Make sure the bar
clamp nuts are securely tightened after ten­sioning the chain.

S

Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If
the chain is moving at a slower speed,
there is greater chance of kickback occur­ring.

S

Cut one log at a time.

S

Use extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.

S

Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (plunge cuts).

S

Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.

S

Use the Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar
and Low--Kickback Chain specified for
your saw.

MAINTAIN CONTROL

Never reverse
hand positions

Stand to the left of
the saw

5

Thumb on underside of
handlebar

Elbow locked

S

Keep a good, firm grip on the saw with both
hands when the engine is running and
don’t let go. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Keep the fingers of your left hand encir­cling and your left thumb under the front
handlebar. Keep your right hand com­pletely around the rear handle whether
your are right handed or left handed. Keep
your left arm straight with the elbow
locked.

S

Position your left hand on the front handle­bar so it is in a straight line with your right
hand on the rear handle when making
bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left
hand positions for any type of cutting.

S

Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.

S

Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.

S

Do not overreach. You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the
saw.

S

Do not cut above shoulder height. It is diffi­cult to maintain control of saw above
shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING

:

The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous reac­tion. As a chain saw user, do not rely only on
safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance
in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other forces which can result in serious
injury.

S

Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of the kickback danger zone on the
bar tip.

S

Low--Kickback Chain, designed with a
contoured depth gauge and guard link
which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually ride into the cutter.

S

Handguard, designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting the
chain if your hand slips off the front handle­bar.

S

Position of front and rear handlebars, de­signed with distance between handles and

“in-line” with each other. The spread and
“in-line” position of the hands provided by
this design work together to give balance
and resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if kick­back occurs.

CHAIN BRAKE

WARNING

:

Y our chain saw is
equipped with a chain brake that is designed
to stop the chain immediately if you get a
kickback. The chain brake reduces the risk
of accidents, but only you can prevent them.
DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE CHAIN
BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE
EVENT OF A KICKBACK.

S

Tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking
the guide bar up and back toward the oper­ator.

S

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.

S

Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw.

SAFETY NOTICE:

Exposure to
vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swellings.
Prolonged use in cold weather has been
linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise
healthy people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in
skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the
fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use
of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti-vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who
operate power tools on a continual and
regular basis must monitor closely their
physical condition and the condition of this
tool.

ASSEMBLY

Protective gloves (not provided) should be
worn during assembly.

ATTACHING THE BUMPER
SPIKE

S

Attach the bumper spike with the two
screws as illustrated. The bumper spike
may be used as a pivot when making a cut.

ATTACHING THE BAR & CHAIN

(If

not already attached)

WARNING

:

Recheck each assem­bly step if the saw is received assembled. Al­ways wear gloves when handling the chain.
The chain is sharp and can cut you even
when it is not moving!

S

Loosen and remove the clamp nuts and
the bar clamp from the saw.

S

Remove the plastic shipping spacer (if
present).

S

An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad­just the tension of the chain. It is very im­portant when assembling the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment before you
begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See
illustration below.

Adjustment located on Chain Brake

Inside view of
Chain Brake

S

Turn the adjusting screw counterclock­wise to move the adjusting pin almost as
far as it will go to the rear. This should allow
the pin to be near the correct position. Fur­ther adjustment may be necessary as you
mount the bar.

S

Mount the bar as illustrated.

S

Slide the bar toward the rear of the saw as
far as possible.

S

Prepare the chain by checking the proper
direction. Without following the illustration
it is easy to place the chain on the saw the
wrong direction. Use the illustration of the
chain to determine the proper direction.

S

Place the chain onto the sprocket located
behind the clutch drum. Fit the chain be­tween the teeth in the sprocket.

S

Start at the top of the bar and fit chain into
groove around the guide bar.

S

Pull the bar forward until the chain is snug
in the groove of the bar.

S

Hold guide bar against the saw frame and in­stall the bar clamp. Make sure the adjusting
pin is aligned with the hole in the bar. Re­member this pin moves the bar forward and
backward as the screw is turned.

S

Replace the bar clamp nuts and tighten
finger tight. Once the chain is tensioned
you will need to tighten bar clamp nuts.

CHAIN TENSION

(Including units with

chain already installed)

NOTE

:

When adjusting chain tension,
make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the bar
nuts are tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the combination
screwdriver/wrench tool to move the chain
around the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it
is too tight. If too loose, the chain will sag be­low the bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chain
stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.

7

Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.

Y ou can adjust the chain tension by loosening
the bar clamp nuts and turning the adjusting
screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on the bar .

S

If chain is too tight, turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

S

If chain is too loose, turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn clockwise.

S

Lift up the tip of the bar and tighten the bar
clamp nuts with the combination screw­driver/wrench.

S

Recheck chain tension.

FUELING & LUBRICATION

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING

:

Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good quality
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We
recommend Jonsered brand oil mixed at a
ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 5 liters of unleaded gasoline with

0.125 liter of oil. If you do not use this oil, use
a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled oil
designed to be mixed at a ratio of 1:33 (A
1:33 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of
unleaded gasoline with 0.15 liters of oil.
When mixing fuel follow the instructions
printed on the container. Always read and
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before
fueling your unit.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubri­cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto­matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. 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.

Only use Bar and Chain Oil for bar and chain
lubrication.

the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start refer
to the troubleshooting chart.

CHAIN BRAKE

WARNING

:

DO NOT ASSUME
THATTHE CHAIN BRAKE WILL PROTECT
YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICKBACK.
Instead, use the saw properly and carefully
to avoid kickback. Reduced--Kickback bars
and Low--Kickback chains reduce the haz­ard of kickback and are recommended. If the
brake band is worn too thin it may break
when the chain brake is triggered. With a
broken brake band, the chain brake will not
stop the chain. Repairs on a chain brake
should be made by a service dealer. Take
your unit to the place of purchase if pur­chased from a servicing dealer, or to the
nearest authorized service dealer.

S

This saw is equipped with a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop the chain if
kickback occurs.

S

The inertia activated chain brake is
activated if the front hand guard is pushed
forward, either manually or by centrifugal
force.

S

If the brake is already activated, it is
disengaged by pulling the front hand guard
back toward the front handle as far as
possible.

S

When cutting with the saw, the chain brake
must be disengaged.

Braking function control

The chain brake must be checked several
times daily. Place the saw on firm ground.
Hold the handles with both hands and apply
full throttle. Activate the chain brake by turn­ing your left wrist against the hand guard
without releasing the grip around the front
handle. The chain should stop immediately.

Inertia activating function control

CAUTION

:

When performing the fol­lowing procedure, the engine must be
turned off.

Disengaged

Engaged

The chain brake must be checked several
times daily. Hold the chain saw approximate­ly 14” (35 cm) above a stump or other firm ob­ject. Release your grip on the front handle
and let the saw, by its own weight, rotate
around the rear handle. When the tip of the
bar hits the stump, the brake should activate.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S

Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.

S

Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as
necessary.

S

Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase t he possibility of kickback.

9

S

Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the “feel” of us­ing your saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.

S

Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.

S

Begin cutting with the saw frame
against the log.

S

Keep the engine at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.

S

Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only
light downward pressure.

S

Release the throttle trigger as soon as
the cut is completed, allowing the en­gine to idle. If you run the saw at full
throttle without a cutting load, unneces­sary wear can occur.

S

To avoid losing control when cut is com­plete, do not put pressure on saw at end
of cut.

S

Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

WARNING

:

Do not cut near buildings
or electrical wires if you do not know the di­rection of tree fall, at night since you will not
be able to see well, or during bad weather
such as rain, snow, or strong winds. as fall is
unpredictable.
Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad­vance. You need a clear area all around the
tree so you can have secure footing. Check
for broken or dead branches which can fall
on you causing serious injury.

Natural conditions that can cause a
tree to fall in a particular direction
include:

S

The wind direction and speed.

S

The lean of the tree. The lean of a tree
might not be apparent due to uneven or
sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to de­termine the direction of tree lean.

S

Weight and branches on one side.

S

Surrounding trees and obstacles.
Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted,
it can snap and fall toward the operator.

Make sure there is enough room for the tree to
fall. Maintain a distance of

2-1/2

tree lengths
from the nearest person or other objects. En­gine noise can drown out a warning call.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, sta­ples, and wire from the tree where cuts are to
be made.

Plan a clear retreat path

FELLING LARGE TREES

(15 cm in diameter or larger)

The notch method is used to fell large trees.
A notch is cut on the side of the tree in the de­sired direction of fall. After a felling cut is
made on the opposite side of tree, the tree
will tend to fall into the notch.

NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE
TREE

S

Make notch cut by cutting the top of the
notch first. Cut through

1/3

of the diameter
of the tree. Next complete the notch by cut­ting the bottom of the notch. See illustra­tion. Once the notch is cut remove the
notch of wood from the tree.

S

After removing the cutout of wood, make
the felling cut on the opposite side of the
notch. This is done by making a cut about
two inches higher than the center of the
notch. This will leave enough uncut wood
between the felling cut and the notch to
form a hinge. This hinge will help prevent
the tree from falling in the wrong direction.

NOTE

:

Before felling cut is complete, use
wedges to open the cut when necessary to
control the direction of fall. Use wood or
plastic wedges, but never steel or iron, to
avoid kickback and chain damage.

S

Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to
fall: cracking sounds, widening of the fell­ing cut, or movement in the upper
branches.

S

As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down,
and get away quickly on your planned re­treat path.

S

Be extremely cautious with partially fallen
trees that may be poorly supported. When
a tree doesn’t fall completely, set the saw
aside and pull down the tree with a cable
winch, block and tackle, or tractor. To
avoid injury, do not cut down a partially fall­en tree with your saw.

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE

(BUCKING)

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen
tree to the desired log length.

WARNING

:

Do not stand on the log
being cut. Any portion can roll causing loss
of footing and control. Do not stand downhill
of the log being cut.

Important points

S

Cut only one log at a time.

S

Cut shattered wood very carefully; sharp
pieces of wood could be flung toward oper­ator.

S

Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never
allow another person to hold the log while
cutting and never hold the log with your leg
or foot.

S

Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs,
and roots are tangled. Drag the logs into a
clear area before cutting by pulling out ex­posed and cleared logs first.

TYPES OF CUTTING USED FOR
BUCKING

WARNING

:

If saw becomes pinched
or hung in a log, don’t try to force it out. You
can lose control of the saw resulting in injury
and/or damage to the saw. Stop the saw,
drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut
until the saw can be removed easily. Restart
the saw and carefully reenter the cut. Do not
attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched
or hung in a log.

Turn s a w

OFF

and use a plastic or

wooden wedge to force cut open.

Overcutting

begins on the top side of the log
with the saw against the log. When overcut­ting use light downward pressure.

Overcutting Undercutting

Undercutting

involves cutting on the under­side of the log with top of saw against the log.
When undercutting use light upward pres­sure. Hold saw firmly and maintain control.
The saw will tend to push back toward you.

WARNING

:

Never turn saw upside
down to undercut. The saw cannot be con­trolled in this position.

1/3

of the diameter of the

log.

S

Roll the log over and finish with a second
overcut.

S

Give special attention to logs under strain
to prevent the saw from pinching. Make
the first cut on the pressure side to relieve
the stress on the log.

BUCKING USING A LOG OR SUP­PORT STAND

S

Remember your first cut is always on the
pressure side of the log.

S

Y our first cut should extend

1/3

of the

diameter of the log.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING

:

Neverclimbintoatreeto
limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, plat­forms, a log, or in any position which can cause
you to lose your balance or control of the saw .

IMPORTANT POINTS

S

Watch out for springpoles. Use extreme
caution when cutting small size limbs.
Slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.

S

Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the
saw when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.

S

Frequently clear branches out of the way
to avoid tripping over them.

11

LIMBING

S

Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and prop­erly.

S

Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you work.

S

Start at base of the felled tree and work to­ward the top, cutting branches and limbs.
Remove small limbs with one cut.

S

Keep the tree between you and the chain
as much as possible.

S

Remove larger, supporting branches with
the

1/3,2/3

cutting techniques described in

the bucking section.

S

Always use an overcut to cut small and
freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could
cause limbs to fall and pinch saw.

PRUNING

WARNING

:

Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
branches are higher than your shoulder. Get
a professional to do the job.

S

Make your fist cut

1/3

of the way

through the bottom of the limb.

S

Next make a 2nd cut

all the way

through the limb.

Then cut a third
overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch collar
from the trunk of the tree.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

AIR FILTER

CAUTION

:

Do not clean filter in gaso­line or other flammable solvent to avoid
creating a fire hazard or producing harmful
evaporative emissions.

A dirty air filter decreases engine perform­ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after every
5 hours of operation.

Cleaning the air filter:

S

Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep dirt and sawdust from falling into the
carburetor chamber when the cover is re­moved.

S

Remove the parts as illustrated.

S

Wash the filter in soap and water.

S

Lightly coat the filter with 2-cycle oil before
re-installing.

BAR MAINTENANCE

If your saw cuts to one side, has to be forced
through the cut, or been run with an improper
amount of bar lubrication it may be neces­sary to service your bar. A worn bar will dam­age your chain and make cutting
difficult.

Replace your bar if bent or the inside rails of
the bar are worn.

S

Clean the oil holes after each 5 hours of
operation

S

Remove sawdust from bar groove periodi­cally with a wire or putty knife.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

Carburetor adjustment is critical and if done
improperly can permanently damage your
unit. We recommend you contact an autho­rized service dealer for adjustments.

CHAIN SHARPENING

Chain sharpening is a complicated task that
requires special tools. We recommend that
you refer chain sharpening to a professional
chain sharpener.

IGNITION TIMING

Ignition timing is fixed and nonadjustable.

SPARK PLUG

Replace the spark plug yearly using a Cham­pion RCJ--7Y. Gap to 0,5 mm.

STORAGE

WARNING

:

Stop engine and allow to
cool, and secure the unit before storing or
transporting in a vehicle. Store unit and fuel
in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach
sparks or open flames from water heaters,
electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
Store unit with all guards in place. Position so
that any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury to passersby. Store the unit out
of reach of children.

S

Before storing, drain all fuel from the unit.
Start engine and allow to run until it stops.

S

Clean the unit before storing. Pay particu­lar attention to the air intake area, keeping
it free of debris. Use a mild detergent and
sponge to clean the plastic surfaces.

S

Do not store the unit or fuel in a closed area
where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an
open flame from hot water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

S

Store in a dry area out of the reach of chil­dren.

CAUTION

:

It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel fil­ter, fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Al­cohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to fuel mixture separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the engine.
