To start the Poulan Pro Counter Vibe 4400 chainsaw, ensure the chain brake is engaged, switch the ignition to "On", set the choke lever to the full choke position, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Then, move the choke to half choke and pull the starter rope again until the engine starts. Finally, release the chain brake.
The correct fuel mix ratio for the Poulan Pro Counter Vibe 4400 chainsaw is 40:1, which means 40 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle oil. Use unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil.
If the chainsaw won't start, check the fuel mixture, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, inspect the air filter for blockages, and confirm the ignition switch is working. Also, verify that the choke is in the correct position and the starter rope is not damaged.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and replacing the spark plug as needed, inspecting the chain for sharpness and tension, lubricating the bar and chain, and ensuring that the fuel mixture is fresh.
To sharpen the chain, first ensure the chainsaw is off and the chain brake is engaged. Use a round file that matches the chain's pitch, and file each cutter at the same angle. Ensure even filing pressure and count strokes to maintain balance.
If the chain keeps coming off, check the tension and adjust it according to the manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the bar and chain for wear or damage and ensure they are properly aligned. Also, verify that the sprocket is not worn out.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the chainsaw and gently tap it to remove loose debris. Use warm, soapy water to wash the filter, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
Wear protective gear including gloves, goggles, and ear protection. Ensure the work area is clear of obstacles, maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw, and never cut above shoulder height. Always engage the chain brake when not cutting.
To adjust the carburetor, locate the adjustment screws marked L (low), H (high), and T (idle). Use a screwdriver to adjust the L screw for low-speed performance and the H screw for high-speed performance. Adjust the T screw to set the idle speed. Refer to the manual for specific settings.
Excessive smoking can be caused by an incorrect fuel mix or a dirty air filter. Check the fuel mixture to ensure it's 40:1 and clean the air filter. If the problem persists, inspect the muffler for blockages or excessive carbon build-up.
