MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution. To
help you properly care for your engine, the following pages in-
clude simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools.
Other service tasks that are more difficult, or require special
tools, are best handled by professionals and are normally per-
formed by a technician or other qualified mechanic.
NOTE: Maintenance, replacement or repair of the
emissions control devices and systems may
be performed by any non-road engine repair
establishment or individuals. However, items must
be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain “no
charge” emissions control service.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating con-
ditions. If you operate your engine under unusual conditions
(such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation) or
use it in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servic-
ing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.

Hot Engine Start Procedure:
1. Put ignition switch in the ON position.
2. Pull rope 1-2 times to start.
3. If engine does not fire, refer to Warm Engine Start.
Stopping The Engine:
1. Let the saw idle for up to one minute to continue blowing
air through the engine to aid the cool-down process.
Doing so will help prolong the life of the saw.
NOTE: The engine is still running. Always maintain a firm,
controlling grip on the unit while the engine is
running.
2. Put the unit’s ignition switch in the OFF position.
3. Once cooled down and off, remove tension from the
chain.
