PROCEDURES Procedures Replacing saw chain The first signs of a worn chain are abnormally long saw times and blue smoke emerging from the cut. When replacing the saw chain we recommend the following method. Warning! Before performing any maintenance or service work, lower the attachment to the ground and shut off the engine.
P ROCEDURE S Procedures Replacing saw bar Warning! Before performing any maintenance or service work, lower the attachment to the ground and shut off the engine. Turn off any master shut-offs and do not allow personnel in the cab. Caution! When working on the saw chain always ensure the engine is shut off and wear safety gloves to prevent injuries.
PROCEDURES Procedures Replacing bar holder When replacing the bar holder, always use the following method. 1. Place the unit steady on the ground with the saw unit facing up (when possible). 2. Remove the saw chain. See Replacing saw chain. 3.
P ROCEDURE S Procedures Replacing drive sprocket Warning! A worn or damaged drive sprocket may cause damage or breakage to the saw chain. Warning! Before performing any maintenance or service work, lower the attachment to the ground and shut off the engine.
PROCEDURES Procedures Refilling chain lubrication oil Warning! Before performing any maintenance or service work, lower the attachment to the ground and shut off the engine. Turn off any master shut-offs and do not allow personnel in the cab. Warning! The attachment has sharp edges. Use proper wrenches and protective gloves when working on the attachment.
MAINTE NANCE INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance instructions Warning! Before performing any maintenance or service work, lower the unit to the ground and shut off the engine. Turn off any master shut-offs and do not allow personnel in the cab. Warning! Never try to stop a leakage in the hydraulic system with you hand.
