between the jaws and place the loop around the sprocket.
10. Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the
bar stud is in the long slot of the bar.
WARNING:
When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure that the
chain tensioning pin is in the chain tension pin hole.
Failure to properly place the chain tensioning pin in
the Chain tensioning pin hole could cause the chain
to come loose, resulting in serious personal injury.

tensioning screw clockwise, assuring that the chain seats
into the bar groove during tensioning.
12. Lift the tip of the bar up to check for sag. Release the tip of the bar, and turn the chain tensioning
screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does not exist.

it can be turned by hand without binding.

NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the chain cover bolt slightly and turn chain
tensioning screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the bar up and retighten bolt. Ensure that
the chain will rotate without binding.
