STORAGE TIPS
If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
it protection from dust and dirt. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breath, which will allow condensation to
form and will cause your unit to rust. IMPORTANT!
Never cover chain saw while engine and muffler are
still warm.
Prepare your chain saw for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more.
BEFORE STORING
1.
Use soap and water to wipe down unit.
2.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and fasteners
are securely fastened. Inspect for damaged or
worn pads. Replace if necessary.
ENGINE
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels, such as gasohol, ethanol, or methanol,
can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Do not store gasoline from one season to the next.
Two-cycle mix ages quickly and can cause engine
damage. Replace your gasoline container if it starts to
rust. Rust or dirt in your gasoline will cause engine
problems.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or more.
Follow these instructions:
1.
Drainthe fueltank
2.
Start engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty (The engine will stop.)
3.
Use fresh gas next season.
4.
If you use a fuel stabilizer, the gasoline can be left
in the tank. CAUTION: Never store chain saw
inside a building with fuel in the tank! Fumes can
concentrate and possibly reach a source of
ignition. Allow engine to cool before storage.
5.
Remove spark plug.
