P ROCEDURE S 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.
PROCEDURES 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.
P ROCEDURE S 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.
PROCEDURES 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. Turn off any master shut-offs and do not allow personnel in the cab.
P ROCEDURE S 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.
No damages or cracking have occurred on the unit. • There is no leakage on the unit. • At the beginning of each shift, always start with a sharp saw chain! Tighten any loose items and repair any damages. En011107a_ss555.FM SuperSaw 555S...
