2. Grasp the chain at the midpoint of the guide bar and pull
the saw chain away from the bar rails. For hard nose guide
bars, the drive link tangs should nearly come out of the bar
groove.
12.7.4 Saw Lubrication
Your cutting system (saw chain and guide bar) must receive
sufficient lubrication to prevent excessive chassis wear. The saw
is equipped with an automatic bar oiler that starts when the saw
is activated.
As a guide, the minimum amount of lubrication recommended
for a .404"-pitch cutting system is 1 oz (33 cc) for every minute
of saw use.
IMPORTANT! Never use hydraulic fluid in place of bar oil.
Hydraulic fluid is not an adequate cutting system lubricant.
At startup, adequate time must be allowed for lubrication to
reach the cutting system. In cold weather, or with the addition of
a new guide bar or saw chain, the system will require additional
time. Run the saw chain until lubrication can be observed
leaving the tip of the guide bar.

12.8 Adjust the Infeed Conveyor Chain
Tension
Check conveyor chain tension after the first 50 hours of
operation. Chains can stretch during this period. This is normal
wear in.
IMPORTANT! The main requirement of chain adjustment is
to remove slack from the chain (take up the clearances in
each link). It is easy to over tighten the chain, so great care
is needed!
Measure conveyor chain slack from the topside. Pull the
chain up by hand at the middle and measure distance
'X' .
Measurement should be 3" (7.6 cm) . Adjust accordingly.
