ASSEMBLY
Fitting the bar and chain
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
(24)
Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake.
Use the combi-tool integrated in the rear handguard or
one with corresponding dimensions (contact your
servicing dealer (retailer) for a replacement tool). Take off
the transportation ring (A). (6) (15)
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it
in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar. (16)
Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain
adjuster pin in the cut-out in the bar. Check that the drive
links of the chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket and
that the chain is in the groove on the bar. Tighten the bar
nut finger-tight. (16)
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
clockwise using the combi-tool. The chain should be
tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the
bar. (12)
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from
the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by
hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combi-tool. (13)
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
