Cleaning the cylinder fi ns (Fig. 36)
When wood chips are caught between cylinder fi ns (41), the engine
may overheat, resulting in lower output. To avoid this, always keep
cylinder fi ns and fan case clean.
Icing protection system (Fig. 37, 38)
This system is to protect carburetor from icing when the unit is
operated in winter time.
1. When you need icing system work, remove air fi lter cover (38).
Pull out the shutter (43) from inside the air fi lter cover and
reinstall it in winter time position by turning half-way. (Fig. 37)
This will allow heated air to fl ow from cylinder side to carburetor
cabin through the opening (44).
NOTE
When winter time has been over and carburetor will not suff er
from icing, make sure that the shutter is reinstalled in ordinary
position (Fig. 38).
For long-term storage
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops.
Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with
a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of
two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole,
and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.
Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.

LOWERING DEPTH GAUGES WITH A FILE
WARNING
○ Do not smoothen the upper part of the guard tie straps (58) or
bumper drive links (59) with a fi le or deform them. (Fig. 41)
○ Adjust the depth gauge to the specifi ed setting.
Failure to observe the above raises the possibility of a kickback
and may result in injury.
1) If you sharpen your cutters with a fi le holder, check and lower the
depth.
2) Check depth gauges every third sharpening.
3) Place depth gauge tool on cutter. If depth gauge projects, fi le
it level with the top of the tool. Always fi le from the inside of the
chain toward an outside cutter. (Fig. 42)
4) Round off front corner to maintain original shape of depth gauge
after using depth gauge tool. Always follow the recommended
depth gauge setting found in the maintenance or operator
manual for your saw. (Fig. 43)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING CUTTERS
File (60) cutter on one side of the chain from the inside out. File on
forward stroke only. (Fig. 44)
5) Keep all cutters the same length. (Fig. 45)
6) File enough to remove any damage to cutting edges (side plate
(61) and top plate (62)) of cutter. (Fig. 46)
