Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result. · Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired. · Move at least 3m (10 ft. ) from refueling location before starting the engine. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix. IMPORTANT Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use. 14 LUBRICATING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN Automatic Oiling System 1. Remove oil fill cap and fill reservoir with a quality, low viscosity guide bar and saw chain oil. NOTE The discharge volume of the automatic oiler is preset to deliver 3 to 4 cc/min.
