INSTALLING/REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN

Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop
around the sprocket.

Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the
bar studs are in the long slot of the bar.
NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure
that the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.

Replace the chain cover.

Tighten the lock knob, but leave the bar free to move for
tension adjustment.

Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner clockwise until the chain seats snugly against
the bar with the drive links in the bar groove.

Tighten the lock knob.
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be
turned by hand without binding.
NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the
lock knob slightly and turn the chain tensioner 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the lock knob. Ensure that the chain will rotate
without binding.
NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch, check chain tension
frequently and tension as required.
