3. Fill oil reservoir: Use bar and chain oil only.
4. Mix fuel: 50:1 gasoline to 2-stroke oil ratio.
5. Attach handle: Secure front and rear handles with provided bolts.

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves during assembly. Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened.

First-Time Setup

Complete assembly before first use.

1. Fuel mixture: Prepare 50:1 gasoline to 2-stroke oil mixture.
2. Chain tension: Adjust to proper tension (chain should snap back when pulled).
3. Check oiler: Verify automatic oiler is functioning.
4. Safety check: Test chain brake and throttle lock operation.
5. Break-in period: Run at varying speeds for first 30 minutes.

CAUTION! Never operate without proper chain tension. Always check safety features before use.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Engine won't start	Fuel, spark, compression	Check fuel mixture, spark plug, compression; use decompression valve.
Chain won't turn	Brake engaged/tension	Disengage chain brake; adjust chain tension; check clutch.
Excessive vibration	Balance/loose parts	Check for loose fasteners; inspect anti-vibration mounts.
Chain not oiling	Clogged oiler/empty	Clean oil ports; refill oil reservoir; check pump.
Overheating	Air flow/carburetion	Clean cooling fins; adjust carburetor; check fuel mixture.
Loss of power	Fuel filter/air filter	Replace fuel filter; clean air filter; check exhaust.

Reset: Allow to cool completely if overheated.
