F. Self-Propelling Operations
1. Speed Control Lever:
The operators right hand lever is the speed control lever. Pushing the
lever slowly forward will increase the forward speed of the saw. Pulling it
to the center will place the saw in neutral. Pulling the saw to the rear of
the console (from the neutral) will increase the reverse speed.
2. Transmission Engage/Disengage Lever:
Transmission Engage/Disengage lever has two (2) positions onto which it
can be moved: Engaged position (Down) allows the transmission to
operate the rear drive wheels by the means of rear wheel friction rollers,
the Disengage position (Up) release the rear wheel friction rollers from the
rear drive wheel (the saw can be “Free Wheeled” or moved when
repositioning the saw or moving it without running the engine.
NOTE:
When parking the saw, it should always be left in the Engaged
position , Speed Control Lever in the neutral position, the engine
OFF, and perpendicular (right angle) to the grade (hill).
3. Drive Wheel Adjustment:
Keep the chain clean and properly adjusted. To change the engagement
pressure of the friction rollers, disengage the transmission and reposition
loosen the fasteners that mount this lever to the transmission and readjust
the friction rollers so that there is a 1/4” clearance (move the transmission
platform up or down) between the friction rollers and the rear wheels.
Retighten the mounting hardware.
Clean the rear friction rollers wheels, slurry will build up on the friction
rollers and cause the friction rollers to slip. Normally spraying the friction
rollers and rear wheels with water will clean out the slurry.

collars fit both the left and right ends of the blade shaft.

the blade guard from the operators Left hand side to the Right.
