Storage Essentials
In order to keep the chainsaw in good working order during long storage periods it is
essential correct storage procedures are followed.
* Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area.
* Run the engine until the carburettor is dry - this will help reduce the carburettor diaphram
from sticking together.
* Remove the chain, bar and tension cover to clean all these areas well using a brush and
degreaser - allow the unit to dry before re-assembly.
* Spray the chain and bar with a corrosion inhibiting oil.
* Clean the airfilter as described on page (22).
* Once the unit is throughly cleaned using a brush, rag and degreaser, then spray with
corrosion inhibiting oil then assemble the product as though you would use it.
