2. Start the saw and run at idle speed until the engine stops.
This will remove most of the fuel from the fuel system.
3. Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench and pour
a teaspoonful of oil through the spark plug hole into the
combustion chamber. Pull the starter rope slowly several
times to distribute the oil throughout the engine. Replace
the spark plug tightly.

4. Remove and clean the bar and chain (use gloves when
handling chain).

5. Store the chain in a container with oil covering the chain.
6. Apply a heavy film of oil over the entire bar including the
groove for the chain. Cover with heavy paper, cloth or
plastic.
7. Clean the outside surfaces of the saw.

8. Cover the saw with a protective cloth or plastic, and store
the saw and bar in a dry place. Always store away from
possible source of ignition such as furnaces, heaters, etc.
9. Ideally the saw should be operated for a short period of
time (5 minutes) every 30 days. Follow the usual starting
instructions.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench. Pull the
starter rope briskly to clear the cylinder of excess oil. Clean
and gap the spark plug or install a new spark plug. Fill the
fuel tank with the correct fuel mixture and fill the chain oil
tank with McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil.
A Hint For Easier Starting
A newly manufactured saw or one which has been in storage
may sometimes be difficult to start. This is because for ship-
ping purposes one of the manufacturing processes removes
all fuel from the fuel tank, fuel lines and carburetor after the
engine is tested. Proper storage and long storage periods also
result in removing or evaporating all fuel from the engine.
Under these circumstances, it can be easier to start the
engine in the following manner: Remove the air filter cover
and air filter. Prime the engine by injecting about half a tea-
spoon of the proper fuel mixture through the carburetor air
@intake. (An oil can filled with the proper fuel mixture is ideal
for this purpose.) Take care not to flood the engine and do
not spill fuel into the airbox. It usually takes two or three
pulls of the starter rope to draw the fuel into the combustion
chamber and start the engine. It may be necessary to start
the engine two or three times in this manner before the en-
gine will run on its own fuel system. As soon as the engine
is running on its own fuel system, stop the engine and replace
the air filter and air filter cover. Never do any cutting with
the air filter and air filter cover off the engine.
NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS METHOD FOR REGULAR STARTING!
