4. MACHINE ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT
with the bar and chain dismantled and the oil and
fuel tanks empty.
WARNING!
ing the assembly should be done on a flat and
stable surface, with enough space for machi-
ne handling and its packaging, always mak-
ing use of suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in
accordance with the local regulations in
force.
WARNING!
gloves when handling the bar and chain.
Mount the bar and chain very carefully so as
not to impair the safety and efficiency of the
machine. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
NOTE
sembled in different ways, depending on the bar
fastening system and the chain tensioning mech-
anism.
Before fitting the bar, make sure the chain brake
is not engaged; this is done by pulling the front
hand guard right back towards the body of the
machine.
1a. MACHINES WITH STANDARD
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTER
– Unscrew the nuts and remove the clutch cover
to get to the drive sprocket and point where
the bar is to be fitted (Fig. 1). In P 40(x) -
P 42(x) - P 44(x) Models: the clutch cover is
supplied disassembled.
– Mount the bar (2) by inserting the stud bolts in
the groove and push it towards the back of the
machine body (Fig. 2).
– Mount the chain in the right direction around
the drive sprocket and along the bar rail (Fig.
3). If the tip of the bar has a nose sprocket,
make sure the drive links fit correctly in the
sprocket rims.
– Check that the chain tension adjuster pin (3) is
fitted properly in the hole on the bar (Fig. 4); if
it isn't, turn the chain tension adjuster screw
(4) using a screwdriver until the pin is com-
pletely inserted (Fig. 5) (excluding P 42(x) -
P 44(x) Models).
– Fit the guard back on without tightening the
nuts.
The machine is supplied
Unpacking and complet-
Always wear heavy-duty
The machine can be as-
• In models P 36(x) - P 37(x) - P 38(x) - P
41(x), check that the pin (1 - Fig.1) is insert-
ed correctly.
• In P 42(x) - P 44(x) Models: check that the
chain tension adjuster pin (3a - Fig.4) of the
clutch cover is fitted properly in the hole on
the bar; if it isn't, turn the chain tension ad-
juster screw (4a) using a screwdriver until
the pin is completely inserted.
– Turn the chain tension adjuster screw (4 or 4a)
to adjust the chain tension (Fig. 5). Models P
46(x) and P 48(x) have another tension adju-
ster between the guard nuts (5 - Fig. 5).
– Raise the bar and tighten the guard nuts secu-
rely using the wrench (Fig. 6).
1b. MACHINES WITH "Q-TENS" QUICK
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTER
– Unscrew the knob (1) and remove the clutch
cover to get to the drive sprocket and the
point where the bar is fitted (Fig. 7).
– Push the chain tension adjuster lock on the
bar (2) forwards as far as it goes (Fig. 8).
– Mount the chain in the right direction on the
bar (Fig. 8). If the tip of the bar has a nose
sprocket, make sure the drive links are cor-
rectly inserted in the sprocket rims.
– Insert the bar (3) and wind the chain around
the drive sprocket (Fig. 8).
– Rotate the outer ring (4) on the cover to line up
its pointer with the one on the guard (Fig. 9).
– Fit the cover back on by screwing the knob (1)
but not tight (Fig. 10).
– Tighten the chain by rotating the outer ring (4)
clockwise (Fig. 10).
– Raise the bar and tighten the knob (1) secure-
ly (Fig. 10).
2. CHECKS AFTER MOUNTING THE BAR
AND THE CHAIN
– Check the chain tension. The tension is cor-
rect when the drive links do not slip out of the
chain guides if you hold the chain in the mid-
dle of the bar (Fig. 1).
– Using a screwdriver, make the chain run along
the guides to check it moves smoothly without
resistance.
