For your information:
:
Use this maintenance moment to lubricate the chain (read § 11.4.2.3).
Caution:
As with every other aspect of maintenance, you must turn the engine off and
remove the key from the ignition.
Caution:
Always wear suitable clothing for performing this type of maintenance.
• The chain is subject to loss of elasticity after time and it will start to hang loose, with a
risk of jumping off the gear under heavy strain. If you notice that the chain is loose when
performing lubrication maintenance, then it will require tightening.
• Remove the protective cover on the back of the machine.
• The chain can be tensioned easily by raising the chaintensioner.
• To do so, loosen the (M10) nut that holds the chain tensioner to the frame. Use a 17 mm
ring spanner.
• Move the spanner upwards.
• Caution: over-tightening the chain can lead to accelerated wear of the bearings and the
chain.
• Re-tighten the (M10) nut that holds the chain tensioner to the frame.
• Carefully replace the protective cover and fasten it.
