Bar Maintenance

To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make sure it is turned
over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, proceed as follows
(Fig. 23):
• Grease the bearings on the nose sprocket.
• Clean the bar groove.
• Clean the lubrication holes.
• With a flat file, remove burr from the edges and level off
the guides.
Replace the bar whenever (Fig. 23):
• the groove is not as deep as the height of the drive links
(which must never touch the bottom);
• the inside of the guide is worn enough to make the chain
lean to one side.
You can purchase replacement parts for your iON16CS
