This is my first chainsaw, it's just for bucking up some timber around the house that the Power Co. arborists left in our backyard. I searched online for any capacity, or startup information for this chainsaw but it was lacking for this particular model so for the sake of others looking for this, here goes.
With regard to the bar adjustments, (the 1st thing I looked at) I noticed on in the Owner's manual (654-002 12.04.2018) page 10 it mentions "Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the bar cover" showing a graphic of the left side of the chainsaw with a knob. As one can see from the photo above there is no knob. This is leading me to the conclusion that the manual may cover a prior or sister model of chainsaw. Notwithstanding, the bar adjustment was easy to understand and seems to work on the same principle as my motorcycle chain of my old Z1R tc.
Next I was trying to learn how much bar oil is the capacity for 1st time use. The manual mentions on the Specification page that the capacity of the Oil Tank is 200 ml. Cautiously adding bar oil I see that it took only 100 ml.
To fill the fuel tank with what I had on hand (a large can of Husqvarna Fuel, small can of Husqvarna fuel and an automotive fuel funnel about 1 1/2 ft. long) I transferred fuel into the smaller can then fed the fuel tank.
I'll do the 1st startup tomorrow morning, following the procedures found in the Owner's Manual and its Addendum. From what I gather online following initial startup these are hard to start but it may be due to not bleeding the air from the system as described in the manual. I found this important when using my Husqvarna Weed Trimmer from season to season.
