– Mount the bar (4) 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 (5) is fit-
ted properly in the hole on the bar; if it isn't, turn
the chain tension adjuster screw (6) using a
screwdriver until the pin is completely inserted
(Fig. 4).

– Turn the chain tension adjuster screw (6) to ad-
just the chain tension (Fig. 5).
– Raise the bar and tighten the guard nuts securely
using the wrench (Fig. 6).
– Check the chain tension. The tension is correct
when the drive links do not slip out of the chain
guides if you hold the chain in the middle of the
bar (Fig. 7).
– Using a screwdriver, make the chain run along
the guides to check it moves smoothly without
resistance.
