CHAIN TENSION (Including units with

chain already installed)

NOTE: When adjusting chain tension,

make sure the bar nuts are fingertight only.

Attempting to tension the chain when the

bar ni^ are tight will cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Move chain around the bar. If the chain does

not rotate, it is too tight If too loose, the

chain will sag below the bar.

Chain tension is very important Chain

stretches during use. This is especially true

during the first iew times you use your saw.

Always check chain tension each time you

use and refuel your saw.

FUEL & LUBRICATION

FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to operate on

unleaded gasoline. Before operation,

gasoline must be mixed with a good quality

2-cyde air4»oled engine oil. We

recommend Husqvamabra^d 50:1 oil.lfyou

do r»ot use this oil, use a good quality 2-cycle

air4xx>led oil designed to be mixed at a ratio

of 32:1 (A 32:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 4

ounces of oil with each gallon of unleaded

gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the

instructions printed on the container. Always

read and follow the safety mies under

“Handle Fuel with Caution".

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubri

cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto

matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept

filled. Lack of oil will quickly min the bar and

chain. Too little oil will cause overheating

shown by smoke coming from the chan

and/or discoloration of the bar.

In freezing weather oil wilt thicken, making it

necessary to thin bar and chain oil vrith a

small amount (5to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or

kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free

flowing.

Husqvama bar and chain oil is formulated to

protect your unit against excessive wear
