2.4. NAMEPLATE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG
It is important to identify the saw completely and accurately whenever ordering spare
parts or requesting assistance in service. The saw has a product nameplate that states
the model and serial numbers. The saw label should appear as the sample nameplate
shown in Figure 1.
Record the model, serial number, and date of purchase on front page for future
reference.

3. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SET-UP
The following systems must be checked before you can use the saw safely. Running the
saw with an undetected defect in any of these systems will quickly cause equipment
damage.
Hydraulic system
Water supply
Drive Sprocket
Guide Bar
Chain
3.1. CHECKING THE SYSTEM HYDRAULICS
3.1.1. Read and fully understand the operating manual for the hydraulic power
source being used.
3.1.2. Always check the hydraulic power supply flow and pressure output. Never
exceed the maximum hydraulic flow rate of 12 GPM (45LPM) or the
maximum pressure of 2500 psi (172 bar) that are stated on the product
nameplate/serial number tag. Overspeeding the chain causes increased
chain wear, leading to loss of strength and possible chain breakage.
3.1.3. If the oil flow from the hydraulic power supply cannot be adjusted below the
maximum flow rate, a flow divider must be installed. This will ensure the saw
receives the correct flow and excess oil is returned to the tank.
3.1.4. To protect the saw from excessive pressure, the pressure relief valve of the
hydraulic power source must be set at 2500 psi (172 bar). If this is not
possible, a separate pressure relief valve set at 2500 psi (172 bar) must be
installed in the system. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
3.1.5. The hydraulic power source must be fitted with a 10-25 micron oil filter.
3.1.6. Before making any hydraulic connections, inspect all hoses for leaks and
risks of rupture as follows:
