 Replace the chain cover and reinstall the washer
and screw. Tighten the screw finger tight only.
The bar must be free to move for tension adjust-
ment.
 Remove all slack from chain by turning the
chain tensioning screw clockwise, assuring
that the chain seats into the bar groove during
tensioning.
 Tighten the chain cover screw securely.
NOTE: Chain is correctly tensioned when there is
no slack on the underside of the bar, the chain is
snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.
If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the
chain cover screw slightly and turn chain tension-
ing screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Retighten
chain cover screw securely.
