BFS SERIES
Preparation
4. Unpacking, Assembly and Preparation
Your Wacker BFS-Series has been shipped from the factory fully
assembled and requires only minimal service to insure proper
machine preparation prior to use. The following instructions should
be followed closely. Carefully remove carton, packing materials
and the Wacker BFS-Series saw from the pallet. The saw has been
thoroughly inspected and test operated before shipping and should
not require any additional adjustments prior to use. Check each item
with the illustration making certain all items are accounted for and in
good visual condition before discarding any packing materials. If
there are any missing or damaged parts, call customer service on our
toll free number: 1-(800) 770-0957 for instructions before proceeding
further. CONTENTS OF CARTON: saw, fasteners, handlebars, pointer
assembly, wrench, engine manual and operator’s manual.
For your own safety, never start engine until all assembly steps are
complete. Read and familiarize yourself with all controls and features
of this saw as shown in the illustration before beginning operations.
(Descriptions and illustrations are as accurate as possible at the
time of publication. Illustrations may include optional equipment or
accessories and may not show all models covered by this literature).
The handlebar and pointer assemblies are shipped in the carton
without attachment to the main saw frame. Upon removal of the saw
from the carton and pallet, the handlebars should be placed in their
correct mounting tube positions attached to the rear of the Wacker
BFS-Series main frame. Fasteners (3/8-16 bolts, washers, and nuts)
have been placed in the plastic owner’s tube attached to the saw with
the manual. Remove these fasteners and use them to attach the
handlebar and pointer assembly to the main frame as indicated in
the exploded drawing.
4.1 Initial Servicing
The engine must be thoroughly lubricated, and filled with fuel prior to
break-in or use. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for details of service
for the engine. The section on Maintenance in this manual describes the
required periodic maintenance required under normal use.
4. Engine Preparation
Add Fuel
The engine is designed to operate on regular grade unleaded gasoline
only. Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished only when the engine
is stopped and cool. Care should be taken to prevent spilling fuel over any
part of the console or engine.
NOTICE: The engine is not shipped with oil in the crankcase. Check
crankcase dipstick and fill with approved oil to the apppropriate level.
