The b arand chainrequire lubrication. Thechain
oiler provides continuous lubricationto thechain

shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or
discoloration of the bar. Th e oil output is auto-

mended to protect your unit against exces-
sive wear from heat and friction. Poulan oil
resists high temperature thinning.
