Unit is flooded out Remove the plug and clean it or replace it and blow compressed air into plug hole to remove excess fuel.

Keep the chain sharp and properly tentioned, keep the side vents into the motor clean and free from saw dust ( to keep the motor properly cooled )

Here's a video on how to remove and he will tell you what direction the chain should be in.

Hi, it is meant to work this way, dont push it full forward to use the saw. Regards Phil.

Look for a small screw head either on the right side by the chain sprocket cover, or in the front of the saw. This is the chain tensioner, but it will not move unless you loosen the nuts hold the chain sprocket cover, since those bolts go through the chain bar guide you are trying to move. Just loosen them enough to be able to turn the chain tensioner screw and then retighten them when you have the proper tension. Good luck.

Turn the saw off. Look for several nuts on the right side of the saw that hold the cover on and the blade to the saw. Loosen these nuts, and before taking the cover off, loosen the chain adjuster by turning it (usually a screw head on the same side, or on the front of the saw as you look down the blade towards the saw.) Loosening the chain adjuster moves a pin that goes into the bar (the part the chain rides around when operating) to push it away from the saw to tighten the chain when you are tightening it. Take the cover off, and put the chain around the sprocket at the back like a bicycle chain, and then while holding the bar (sometimes a partner helps) parallel to the saw and outward away from the front of the saw, align the bottom parts of the chain inside the bar guide slot all around the bar, holding just enough tension that it doesn't fall off the sprocket or get misaligned in the bar guide. Try moving the chain a little bit to make sure it is not binding on anything. If it doesn't move at all, make sure the chain brake is not on. Once it is moving smoothly, put the cover back on, and begin to hand tighten the nuts. Just before they begin to get tight, eyeball where the chain tensioner pin is in relation to the hole it is supposed to go in. Adjust the chain tensioner screw to move the pin towards the hole. When it pops in the hole, continue tightening the nuts by hand until tight. Now you and your partner can let go of the bar. Adjust the chain tensioner for the proper tension in the chain, not too loose, not to tight, refere to your manual. Finish tightening the cover nuts using the universal wrench to the specifications given in the owners manual.

Make sure your oil cap is tight & not cross treaded. If loose, any airpressure will force oil out the bottom, even sitting still without running. Sitting over night with an air leak will force all the oil out of your tank and all over . Something like putting a straw in a glass of water, putting your finger over the end and taking the straw out of the water, the water will stay in the straw untill you take your finger off. To oil your chain, push down on the cap to depress the thin plastic oil tank, when your done oiling, the tank will return to its shape, and draw air in from the bottom or where the oil went out, ready for another oiling.

The oil rate is not adjustable, make sure you are using a good quality bar and chain oil that is not too thin.

You shouldn't need any other oil than the oil to keep the chain and bar guide oiled (pressing down on the button adds more oil to the chain/bar). You can use standard Bar and Chain Oil, or probably pay a little more and use the Poulan brand oil, but in my experience, any bar oil for chainsaws will work, and the larger the container you buy, the less per ounce you will pay. Remember this is NOT an automatic oiling system, so it will be cheaper in the long run to remember to press that button than to replace the chain/saw if it overheats.

It should be standard Chain/bar oil you can get this at lowes or home depot

All machines today will have a chainbrake, this is normally a band that comes around the clutch drum to stop the chain in the event of a kick back, to unlock the brake, pull the hand guard fully back to the top handle until you hear the click of the brake loading, there will be an amount of force required to pull the guard back.

Are the jet screws fitted with slot heads or 'D' heads? 'D' heads require a special tool to adjust and are not available to the general public, so you are stuck with taking the saw to a servicing dealer for adjustment. Slot head screws can be turned with a small flat-blade driver by anyone. In case you have owner-adjustable heads, try the following: Turn both screws CW to stops (lightly), then back each out 1-1/2 turns CCW. The engine should run with this basic setting. Warm up the saw, then pull the throttle full on. Turn H needle CW until the engine speeds up somewhat, but still 4-stroking. Proper adjustment is when the engine 4-strokes, but immediately 2-strokes when cutting. Release the throttle and adjust L CW until the engine idles fairly well, but allows the engine to 'follow-the-throttle'. Adjust idle speed so that the chain stops turning, but the engine continues to run. Hope this helps!

To remove the gas tank on a Poulan Pro PPBP30/30cc gas backpack blower, follow these general steps:

1. Ensure the blower is turned off and cool before starting any maintenance.
2. Locate the gas tank on the blower. It is typically positioned near the engine.
3. Look for any screws or bolts securing the gas tank to the blower. Use the appropriate tools, such as a screwdriver or wrench, to remove them.
4. Once the screws or bolts are removed, gently lift the gas tank away from the blower. Be cautious not to spill any fuel.
5. If there are any fuel lines or connections attached to the tank, disconnect them carefully by loosening the clamps or fittings.
6. Once all connections are detached, the gas tank should be free to remove completely.

Please note that specific models may have slight variations in the removal process, so consulting the Poulan Pro PPBP30/30cc gas backpack blower's user manual for detailed instructions is recommended.
