CS4518 Chainsaws
STORAGE
When storing the chainsaw for periods of three months or
longer:
1. Empty and clean the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
2. Dispose of fuel properly. Local regulations may apply. Contact
your local government or hazardous material service for
instructions.
3. Run the engine until the carburetor is dry. This will draw the
fuel out of the carburetor, preventing costly repairs to clean
gummed fuel from the fuel system.
4. Remove the saw chain and guide bar. Clean them thoroughly
and treat with a rust preventative before storing.
5. Thoroughly clean the chain saw. Remove sawdust and
excess bar and chain oil from the clutch cover and the area
surrounding the clutch. Pay close attention when cleaning
the cylinder cooling fins and the air filter.
6. Store the unit in a dry location, out of the reach of children
and other unauthorized users.
