C: The automatic chain oiler attachment (where fitted) gives a squirt of oil (approximately
15 ml) every time the VFC-door ram cycles. In this way, the machine is oiled in direct
proportion to the number of cycles, assuring adequate lubrication. There is an
adjustment screw on the base of the automatic oiler; turning clockwise applies less oil,
while turning counter-clockwise applies more.

After each season, remove all chains by loosening the tensioners and removing the
joiner links (see Figure 8).
Wash off all dirt using paraffin. Dry the chains before soaking overnight in oil, and then, refit.

CAUTION:
Failure to maintain oil on the chains may reduce the
machine’s working life by 90%.
Chain damage is not covered by factory warranty. See warranty section for more
details.
It is also essential to monitor and maintain the required chain tension. Chain tension
is adjustable for the primary chain. (See next section.)
CAUTION:
For the first month of ownership (i.e., during the chain bedding-in period), it is
recommended to check chain tension daily. (See next section.)
