INSTALLING/REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN
● Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop
around the sprocket.

Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the bar
studs are in the long slot of the bar. (Fig 8)

When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure that the
adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.

Replace the chain cover and secure with the lock knob, but
leave the bar free to move for tension adjustment. (Fig 9)

Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner clockwise until the chain seats snugly against the
bar with the drive links in the bar groove. (Fig 10)

● Tighten the knob.
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be
turned by hand without binding.
NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Turn the chain
tensioner 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar
up and retighten the knob. Ensure that the chain will rotate
without binding.

NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch, check chain tension
frequently and tension as required.
