Place the bar onto the mounting post so that the
chain tensioning pin fits into the chain tensioning
pin hole.
NOTE:
If necessary, rotate the chain tensioning
screw counterclockwise until the pin and hole
can be aligned.
Fit the chain over the sprocket and into the bar
groove. The cutters on the top of the bar should
face toward the bar tip, in the direction of the
chain rotation.
Replace the chain cover and reinstall the washer
and screw. Tighten the screw finger tight only.
The bar must be free to move for tension adjust-
ment.
Remove all slack from chain by turning the chain
tensioning screw clockwise, assuring that the
chain seats into the bar groove during tension-
ing.
Tighten the chain cover screw securely.
NOTE:
Chain is correctly tensioned when there is
no slack on the underside of the bar, the chain is
snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.
If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the
chain cover screw slightly and turn chain tension-
ing screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Retighten
chain cover screw securely.
