CHAIN
TENSION
(Including
units
with
chain
already
installed)
When
adjusting
chain tension,
make sure
the chain brake nuts are finger tight only. At-
tempting to tension
the chain when the chain
brake nuts are tight can cause damage.
Checking
the tension:
Use the screwdriver
end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the
bar.
