GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The bar and chainrequire lubrication. The chain
oiler provides continuous lubrication to thechain
and guide bar . Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar
and chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown b y smoke coming from the chain and/or
discoloration of the bar. The oil output is auto-
matically metered during operation. Always fill
the bar oiltank beforeand duringuse asneeded
(capacity = 4.6 fl. oz.).
Genuine Poulan bar and chain oil is recom-
mended to protect your unit against exces-
sive w ear fr om heat and friction. Poulan oil
resists high t e mperature thinning.
