Poulan 2100 - Manual (Page 10)

F. BAR AND CHAIN OIL
• The Guide Bar and Cutting Chain require
continuous lubrication to remain in operat-
Lack of oil will quickly ruin the Bar and
Chain.
— Too little oil will cause overheating shown
by smoke coming from the chain and/or discol­
oration of the guide bar rails.
• Genuine POULAN orPOULANPRO Bar and
Chain Oil is reconunended to protect your
unit against excessive wear from heat and
friction. POULAN or POULAN PRO oil resists
high temperature thinning. If POULAN or
POULAN PRO Bar and Cham Oil is not available,
use a good grade SAE 30 oiL Never use waste oil for
bar and chain lubrication.
• In freezing weather oil will thicken, mrfdng
it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small nmniinfr. of #1 Diesel Fuel or kerosene.
Bar and rhлir^ oil must be free flowing for the oil
çj^tem to pump enough ofl for adequate lubrica­
tion,
6. USE THE FOLLOWING:
30® or above — 100% lubricant — undiluted,
30®-0®F — 95% lubricant to 5% 01 Diesel Fuel or
kerosene.
Below 0®F — 90% lubricant to 10% 01 Diesel Fuel
or kerosene.
7. HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK
a. Stop the engine.
b. Turn saw on its side with oil cap up. Figure 10 .
c. Loosen cap slowly and wait for pressure in the
tank to be released before removing the cap.
d. Fill the oü tank.
e. Replace the oil cap securely.
8. IMPORTANT POINTS TO
REMEMBER
a. Fill the oil tank each time you refrll the
foel tank to ensure that there will be sufficient
oil for the chain whenever you start and run the
saw.
b. Keep sawdust and debris cleaned from
the oil holes in the guide bar to allow an ad­
equate oil flow to the oar and chain.
c. Keepspilledandi^attei^doilwipedfrom
the unit to avoid sawdust and debris
build-up. Pby particular attention to oil on the
fan housmg and starter assembly to avoid over­
heating the engine.
d. It is normal for a small amount of oil to
appear under the saw after the engine
st<^. This is excess oil draining from the bar
and chain when the saw is not in use.
