WARNING!
Never attempt to install,
replace, or adjust the chain with the
engine running.
Adjusting the Chain
WARNING!
The saw chain is very sharp.
Wear gloves to protect your hands
when handling.
CAUTION!
A loose chain can jump off the guide
bar causing damage to the chain and
associated equipment.
Always make sure the chain is properly
adjusted; check more often when you
are breaking in a new chain.
IMPORTANT!
Proper chain adjustment is essential for
maximum performance, long chain life,
and operator safety. Always inspect chain
tension before operating machine.
1. Place Splitboom Attachment SBA-P4 on
a clean, flat surface. (For readjustment
during operation, shut down the engine,
then allow the guide bar and chain to
cool before proceeding with the adjust-
ment procedure.)
. Loosen the sprocket cover nut with the
plug wrench.
3. Lift the nose of the guide bar while turn-
ing the chain tensioning screw.
• clockwise to tighten the chain
• counter clockwise to loosen the chain.

4. Pull the chain by hand along the top of
the guide bar several times from the
engine to the bar’s tip. The chain should
feel snug but still pull freely.
Chain Tensioning Screw
5. Tighten the sprocket cover nut securely
while lifting the tip of the guide bar.
6. Inspect the chain for the correct adjust-
ment (more frequently with a new
chain). The chain should feel snug but
still pull freely.
Filling the Chain
Oiler Reservoir
WARNING!
Never fill the oil reservoir or
adjust the oiler with the engine running.
IMPORTANT!
The service life of the chain and guide
bar is affected by the quality of the
lubricant. Using superior lubricant such
as Shindaiwa Bar and Chain Oil will
help ensure a long service life, For cold
weather operation, mix the bar and chain
oil with an equal part of kerosene.
NOTE:
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient
to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time
(when set to deliver the minimum flow rate,
or about as long as you’ll get from a tank of
fuel).
1. Place Splitboom Attachment SBA-P4
on a clean, flat surface with the oil filler
cap facing up. Wipe off any debris from
the oil cap and from around the oil filler
neck.
. Remove the oil filler cap and fill the
reservoir with bar and chain oil, then
replace the cap.
3. Wipe up any spilled oil from the unit
before restarting the machine.
Oil Filler Cap
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
minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted
in the field. A temporary increase in oil
flow is often desirable when cutting things
like hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop
switch is in the OFF position.
. Place the unit on its side with the oil
reservoir up.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil
flow rate adjusting screw and turn in
the desired direction (there are three
incremental settings):
• clockwise–decrease lubrication.
• counter clockwise–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.
NOTE:
For the details of filling fuel, consult the
owner’s manual that was provided with
Multipurpose Engine, If it has been lost or
misplaced, contact a Shindaiwa dealer for a
replacement
