13 Mixing Fuel and Refueling the Chain Saw

Closing

To close the tank:

►

Raise the grip on the top of the cap until it is upright at a

90° angle. Insert the cap in the fuel tank opening with the

exterior positioning mark (1) lined up with the "unlocked"

symbol (2) on the fuel tank housing.

►

Using the grip, press the cap down firmly while turning it

clockwise to the closed position (approximately 1/4 turn).

In the closed position, the interior (4) and exterior (1)

positioning marks will align with the "locked" symbol

(3) on

the fuel tank housing.

►

Fold the grip flush with the top of the cap and check for

tightness.

►

If the grip does not lie completely flush with the cap or the

detent on the grip does not fit in the corresponding recess

in the tank opening, or if the cap is loose, the cap is not

properly seated and you must repeat the above steps.

►

Also refer to the procedure below for returning the base of

the cap to the proper starting position for installation.

If the filler cap will not engage into the tank housing

The base of the filler cap is rotated in relation to the upper

part.

If the cap does not drop fully into the fuel tank opening when

the positioning marks (1, 2) line up, or if it does not tighten

properly when turned, the base of the cap may be

prematurely rotated in relation to the top. Such misalignment

can result from handling, cleaning or an improper attempt at

tightening.

–

Illustrations A and B: The base of the cap is prematurely

rotated to the closed position and is not in the correct

starting position for installation. The tank will not seal in

this configuration. Note: in Illustrations A and B, the

interior positioning marks (1) are in line with the exterior

positioning marks (2).

–

Illustration C: The bottom of the cap is in the correct

starting position for installation. Note: in Illustration C, the

interior positioning mark (1) is under the grip and not in

line with the outer positioning mark (2).

To return the base of the cap to the proper starting position

for installation:
