Adjusting The Chain Tension - EGO POWER+ HTA2000 Manual De Instrucciones

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

EN
CAUTION:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned
before using.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension.
2. Loosen the cover screw to finger tight.
3. Turn the chain-tensioning screw clockwise to
tension the chain. See the "REPLACING THE BAR
AND CHAIN" section in this manual for additional
information.
◾
A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is
no slack on the underside of the guide bar and the
chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. The chain must be re-tensioned whenever
the flats on the drive links do not sit in the bar
groove (Fig. O).
◾
During normal saw operation, the temperature of
the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately
1.3mm out of the bar groove (Fig. P).
NOTICE:
New chains tend to stretch; check chain tension
frequently and tension as required.
NOTICE:
A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too
tight upon cooling. Check the cold tension before next use.
TRANSMISSION GEARS LUBRICATION
The transmission gears in the gear case need be
lubricated periodically with gear grease. Check the gear
case grease level about every 50 hours of operation by
removing the sealing screw on the side of the case.
If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gear, follow
the steps below to fill with gear grease up to 3/4 capacity.
Do not completely fill the transmission gears.
1. Position the pole saw attachment on its side with
sealing screw facing upwards (Fig. Q).
2. Use the dual-head wrench provided to loosen and
remove the injection screw.
3. Use a grease syringe (not included) to inject some
grease into the screw hole; do not exceed 3/4 capacity.
4. Tighten the sealing screw after injection.

SPROCKET IN GUIDE BAR LUBRICATION
The guide bar has a sprocket at its tip. It must be lubricat-
ed weekly with chain oil injected into the lubricating hole
by a grease syringe (not included) to extend the guide bar
life (Fig. R). Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrica-
tion holes and chain groove are free from impurities.

TRANSPORTING AND STORING
1. Do not store or transport the pole saw attachment
when it is running. Always remove the battery pack
before storing or transporting.
2. Always place the guide bar sheath on the guide bar
and chain before storing or transporting the pole saw
attachment. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of
the chain.
3. Clean the pole saw thoroughly before storing.
Store the pole saw indoors, in a dry place that is
locked and/or inaccessible to children and keep
away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
4. If the pole saw attachment is removed from the
power head and stored separately, fit the end cap
on the attachment shaft to avoid dirt getting into the
coupler.
