10. Storage

Storing a chain saw
Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days requires
storage maintenance. Unless the storage instruc-
tions are followed, fuel remaining in the carburetor
will evaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This could
lead to difficult starting and result in costly repairs.
• Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any
pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops
to remove fuel from carburetor.
• Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug.
• Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several
times to coat internal components. Replace spark
plug.
m NOTE
Store the unit in a dry place and away from possible
sources of ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water
heater, gas dryer, etc.
Puttig the saw back into operation
• Remove spark plug.
• Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from
combustion chamber.
• Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap is correct.
• Prepare unit for operation.
• Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture.
