MAINTENANCE

CONTROL AND TENSIONING OF THE CHAIN
The chain must always be checked and tensioned when it is cold. All metals expand with temperature. If we tension
the chain when it is hot, we run the risk of overtensioning it and causing it to suffer excessively when it is cold.
Remember to always handle it when it is cold, with the machine switched off and always with the power cable
disconnected.
The chain tensioning of our GS240C is done by means of the side adjustment wheel on the bar cover.
First of all, unlock the wheel to be able to manipulate it by slightly lifting and turning the inner part of the wheel (dark
grey) counterclockwise.
Once the rotation is unlocked, adjust the tensioning by turning the wheel (light grey): clockwise to tighten, anti-
clockwise to loosen tension.
Once the tensioning has been adjusted correctly, following the graphs above, lock the tensioner again by turning the
inside of the wheel (dark grey part) clockwise until the position is adjusted and the wheel cannot rotate.
To make sure that the tensioning is not excessive, switch on the machine and tap the trigger. The chain should not
stop immediately, but should rotate for a second or two seconds more.
