3.1.7. Inspect each hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack,
kinks or any other damage. Never try to stop any detected leak with any body
parts. DO NOT put your face close to suspected leaks. Hold a piece of
cardboard close to suspected leaks and then inspect the cardboard for signs
of hydraulic oil.
3.1.8. Replace a damaged hose immediately. Never repair the hose.
WARNING:
LIQUID UNDER HIGH PRESSURE CAN PIERCE THE SKIN, CAUSING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. IN CASE OF INJURY, GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
3.1.9. The saw uses flush-face quick-release couplings that are durable and easy to
clean. Wipe the mating surfaces of the couplings with clean rag prior to
making connection. They are always fitted such that the male part gives oil
and the female part receives oil.
WARNING:
ENSURE HYDRAULIC HOSES ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED AND IN
GOOD CONDITION.
3.2. CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY
3.2.1. The water supply must be connected and tested before operating the saw.
Check for proper water distribution by triggering the saw with the hydraulic
power supply off and the chain not yet installed. You should see water
coming out the water ports each on the top and bottom of the bar and around
the nose sprocket. If not, use a small wire to clean the water ports, keeping in
mind that the water ports are tilted forward at 45 degrees.
3.2.2. The water pressure at the saw must be a minimum of 30 psi (2.1 bar) with a
minimum flow rate of 2.5 gpm (9.5 lpm). For best performance, use an in-line
water pump. Permanent chain, bar, and drive and nose sprocket damage will
occur if the saw is run without water, or with a water volume or pressure that
is too low. This damage can include excessive chain stretching, excessive
drive and nose sprocket wear, and shorter chain life.
