MAINTENANCE
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
Do not reverse hydraulic flow. Operation with
hydraulic flow reversed could cause tool
malfunc- tion. Connect the pressure hose and tank
hose to the proper ports.
SCHEDULE
Use this schedule to maximize the tool’s service
life.
Notes: Keep all decals clean and legible. Replace
decals when necessary.
When disposing of any components (hydraulic hoses,
hydraulic fluid, worn parts, etc.), do so in
accordance with federal, state and local laws or
ordinances.
Daily
1.
Wipe all tool surfaces clean.
2.
Inspect the entire chain before use. Tension and
sharpen the chain as instructed under Saw Chain
and Bar Maintenance. An improperly sharpened,
dull, worn or damaged chain increases the risk of
kickback.
3.
Check the operation of the automatic oiler before
use as instructed under Checking and Setting the
Automatic Chain Oiler. An improperly set oiler
can accelerate the wear of the chain and bar.
4.
Inspect the hydraulic hoses and fittings for
signs of leaks, cracks, wear or damage. Replace
if necessary.
5.
Install dust caps over the hydraulic ports when the
tool is disconnected.
Monthly
1.
Perform a thorough inspection of the hydraulic
hoses and fittings as described in publication
99930323, SAE J1273 (Hose and Hose Assemblies).
2.
Perform the Bar Service procedure as described
under Saw Chain and Bar Maintenance.
Annually
If required by your organization’s regulations, have the
tool inspected by an Greenlee Utility authorized service
center.
CHECKING AND SETTING
THE AUTOMATIC CHAIN OILER
The automatic chain oiler provides a constant supply of
oil to lubricate the bar and chain whenever the saw is
operating. An adjustment screw controls the amount of
oil supplied.
1.
Run the saw at full rpm.
2.
If the tip of the saw gives off a fine spray of oil,
the automatic oiler is working properly. If the saw
does not give off a spray of oil, adjust the oiler.
Note: For better results, hold saw so that the tip of
the saw blade is pointing toward a clean sheet of
paper or cardboard and run the saw at full rpm.
If the automatic oiler is working properly, the paper
or cardboard should soon show small droplets of
oil.
3.
Stop the hydraulic power source.
4.
Twist the adjustment screw 1/2 turn as follows:
•
clockwise to decrease the oiler output.
•
counterclockwise to increase the oiler output.
