1. Oil filter cap pruner. 2. Oil reservoir
B. Adjusting Oil Flow Rate
CAUTION!
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring
more frequent checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may
be necessary to check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills.
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates
whenever the chain rotates.
The pump is set at the factory to deliver a medium flow rate, but it can be
adjusted in the field.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the STOP position.
Fig.PP9
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up. See Fig.PP9.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in
the desired direction (there are two incremental settings):
•
Clockwise - decrease lubrication.
•
Counterclockwise - increase lubrication

CAUTION!
The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in order to
turn. Failure to do so could damage the Pump and screw.
