Checking The Chain Tension; Safety Checks - Stiga MP 900 Li 48 Manual De Instrucciones

6.1.3 Checking the chain tension

DANGER
Perform all operations with the motor off
and disconnected from the battery backpack
(Fig. 13).
Check the chain tension.
The tension is correct when the drive links
do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold
the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 9).
To adjust the chain tension:
1. loosen the guard nut (Fig. 5.A).
2. turn the chain tension adjuster screw (Fig. 7.D)
to achieve the desired tension;
3. raise the bar and tighten the knob securely.
Fig. 10.A).
DANGER
Never work with the chain loose, as it can be
hazardous if the chain slips out of the bar guides.
ATTENTION
During the first period of use (or after replacing the
chain) it must be checked more frequently due to
settling of the chain.
6.1.4 Using the battery backpack
1. Insert the battery in one of the compartments
of the battery backpack and push it
completely, until hearing the click that
signals its locking in position, ensuring
thus the electrical contact (Fig. 3).
2. Connect the cable to the specific socket
and rotate it until hearing the specific click
that signals its locking in position, ensuring
thus the electrical contact (Fig. 4.A).
3. Adjust the straps (Fig. 14.A).
4. Close the harness at the front (Fig. 14.B).
5. Connect the cable to the machine (Fig. 15).
6. Select the battery to be used (Fig. 4.B).
6.1.5 Using the machine support
DANGER
Frequently check the efficiency of the quick
release (Fig. 14.C) to guarantee that the machine
can be quickly released from the straps in case
of danger.
The machine support must be put on before
connecting the machine to the specific coupling
and the belt must be adjusted according to the
height and build of the operator.
• Fasten the clip (Fig. 14.D) to the specific
coupling located on the command rod.
• If necessary, disengage the quick release
(Fig. 14.C) to detach the harness from the
machine.
