MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
– close the tank cap and operate the machine until
all the cleanser runs out.
Remember to fill with oil, before using the machine
again.
8. BAR MAINTENANCE
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make sure
it is turned over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, proceed
as follows (Fig. 21):
– Grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (if
pre sent) with the syringe.
– Clean the bar groove with the scraper.
– Clean the lubrication holes.
– With a flat file, remove burr from the edges and
level off the guides.
Replace the bar whenever (Fig. 21):
– the groove is not as deep as the height of the
drive links (which must never touch the bottom);
– the inside of the guide is worn enough to make
the chain lean to one side.
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make sure
it is turned over periodically.
If it should be necessary to turn the bar over or
replace it, follow the instructions below (Fig. 22):
– remove the casing, the chain and the bar, care-
fully following the instructions provided in Chap.
4.2;
– remove the screw (1) using a cross-head screw-
driver and remove the tension adjuster (2), tak-
ing care not to misplace the sealing ring (3);
IMPORTANT
"threadlocker" was inserted on the screw thread to
prevent it from accidentally working loose, this
means that a certain amount of force will be
needed to remove the screw; use a clamp to block
the bar in place and always use a suitable sized
screwdriver.
– reassemble the tension adjuster (2) on the other
side of the overturned bar, or on the new bar,
making sure the rubber seal is inserted correctly
(3);
– apply a small amount of "threadlocker" on two
or three screw threads (1) (following the in-
When initially assembled, a
structions provided by the manufacturer), then
tighten the screw as far as possible (1);
– replace the bar, the chain and the casing, follow-
ing the instructions provided in chap. 4.2.
