CHAIN LUBRICANT
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation
reduces friction between the chain and the guide
bar to a minimum and assures a longer service life.
Use bar and chain oil of high quality for this
purpose.
Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various
oiler problems.
Use ECHO bar and chain oil.
When ECHO bar and chain oil is not available:
Use motor oil, etc.
Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:
SAE No. 30 .......in summer
SAE No. 10 .......in winter or when cutting
resinous trees.
When refueling, also refill chain oil.
