Fuel And Lubrication - Partner P340S Instruction Manual

CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TEST
Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain
brake that reduces possibility of injury due to
kickback. The brake is activated if pressure
is applied against brake lever when, as in
the event of kickback, operator's hand
strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated,
chain movement stops abruptly.
WARNING:
The purpose of the
chain brake is to reduce the possibility of
injury due to kickback; however, it cannot
provide the intended measure of protection
if the saw is operated carelessly. Always
test the chain brake before using your saw
and periodically while on the job.
TO TEST CHAIN BRAKE:
1. The CHAIN BRAKE is DISENGAGED
(chain can move) when BRAKE LEVER
IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED. Be
sure the chain brake latch is in the OFF
position. (Fig. 7A)

FUEL AND LUBRICATION

FUEL
Use regular grade unleaded
mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil
for best results. Use mixing ratios in Section
FUEL MIXINGTABLE.
WARNING:
Never
gasoline in your unit. This will cause
permanent engine damage and void the
manufacturer's warranty for that product.
Never use a fuel mixture that has been
stored for over 90 days.
WARNING:
If 2-cycle
other than Custom Lubricant is to be used, it
must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air
cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not
use any 2-cycle oil product
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If
insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine
damage, it voids the manufacturer's engine
warranty for that occurrence.
MIXING FUEL
Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved
container. Use mixing table for correct
ratio of fuel to oil. Shake container to
ensure thorough mix.
WARNING:
Lack of lubrication voids
engine warranty.

2. The CHAIN BRAKE is ENGAGED (chain
is stopped) when brake lever is in forward
position and the chain brake latch is in
the ON position. You should not be able
to move chain. (Fig. 7B)
NOTE:The brake lever should snap into both
positions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever
does not move into either position, do not use
your saw.

CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the
fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using
Partner Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil, which
contains additives to reduce friction and
wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch
formation on the bar and chain.
