McCulloch Promac 72 F.A.Q.

How do I start the McCulloch Promac 72 chainsaw?

To start the McCulloch Promac 72 chainsaw, first ensure that the chain brake is engaged. Set the choke lever to the full choke position, press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible, and then pull the starter rope until the engine starts. Once started, move the choke to the run position.

What type of fuel should I use for my McCulloch Promac 72 chainsaw?

Use a high-quality, unleaded gasoline mixed with 2-cycle engine oil at a ratio of 40:1. Ensure that the oil is specifically designed for air-cooled, 2-cycle engines.

How can I troubleshoot a chainsaw that won't start?

First, ensure the chainsaw has fresh fuel and check the spark plug for fouling or damage. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty. Verify that the ignition switch is in the 'on' position and inspect the fuel lines for leaks or blockages.

What is the correct chain tension for the Promac 72 chainsaw?

The correct tension allows the chain to be pulled away from the guide bar slightly without sagging. Adjust the tension using the tensioning screw, ensuring it's not too tight to prevent binding or too loose to avoid derailment.

How often should I sharpen the chain on my McCulloch Promac 72?

Sharpen the chain every time you refuel, or more frequently if you notice reduced cutting performance or the chain pulling to one side. Use a round file and guide for best results.

Why is my chainsaw emitting excessive smoke?

Excessive smoke may indicate an incorrect fuel mixture, usually too much oil. Check the mix ratio and ensure you're using the correct 40:1 fuel-oil mixture. Also, inspect the air filter for clogging, which can affect combustion.

How do I replace the chain on my Promac 72 chainsaw?

To replace the chain, first, ensure the chainsaw is off and cool. Remove the clutch cover with a wrench, then carefully remove the old chain. Place the new chain onto the guide bar, ensuring the teeth face forward. Reattach the clutch cover and adjust the chain tension.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on the McCulloch Promac 72?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and tightening all bolts, sharpening the chain, inspecting the spark plug, and ensuring proper chain tension. Regularly check the fuel and oil levels before use.

Why does my chainsaw chain keep coming off?

The chain may be too loose, or the bar and chain may be worn. Adjust the chain tension properly and inspect the guide bar for wear. Ensure the sprocket is in good condition and that the clutch cover is securely fastened.

How can I store my McCulloch Promac 72 for long periods?

To store the chainsaw for extended periods, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor. Clean the chainsaw thoroughly, remove the chain and bar, and store them separately in a dry place. Apply a protective oil to prevent rust.
