crease output and turning clock wise to decrease output.
Note: Oil output varies proportionally to load and oper-
ating pressure. It should be adequate for most opera-
tions as adjusted from the factory.
3. Initial oiler adjustment is made with the saw bar and
chain removed.
The following step can be hazard ous. Failure to heed the
instructions could result in serious injury.
4. Connect the pole chain saw to a hydraulic power source
and check for proper operation. READ THE FOLLOWING
CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
a. Make sure the hydraulic power source is running at the
lowest gpm/lpm rate it can while still producing full pres-
sure.
b. Secure the pole chain saw fi rmly in a bench vise and
place the correct size wrench on the 1/2-20 nut securing
the sprocket.
c. Connect the hydraulic power source to the pole chain
saw and turn the circuit control valve to the "ON" position.
d. With a fi rm grip on the pole chain saw and wrench,
SLOWLY squeeze the trigger to ac tivate it.
e. Adjust the oiler for a fl ow of approximately one drop
every one to two seconds.
f. Release the trigger and remove the wrench.
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. When the chain appears loose, lubricate it well and let it
cool for a few minutes to allow for contraction of the chain.
Disconnect the pole chain saw from its hydraulic power
source.
Note: Perform steps 3 through 6 while holding the top
end of the saw bar upward.
3. Loosen the two saw bar nuts slightly.
4. Tighten the chain tension screw until the bot toms of the
tie straps and cutters just touch the saw bar rails of the bot-
tom of the saw bar.
5. Pull the chain around the saw bar by hand to be sure it
fi ts the sprocket and saw bar properly. The chain should
move easily.
6. Hold the saw bar tip up as you tighten the two saw bar
nuts.
7. Connect the pole chain saw to a hydraulic power source.
Operate the chain at low speed (gpm) for a minute or two
while pumping extra oil on the chain.
8. Stop the pole chain saw and check the tension.
If it has loosened, disconnect the pole chain saw from the
hydraulic power source and perform steps 3 through 6
again to tighten the chain to the correct tension.
9. Reconnect the pole chain saw to the hydraulic power
source. Operate the saw and make a few easy cuts. Check
chain tension and readjust if necessary (disconnect it from
the hydraulic power source and perform steps 3 through 6).
Note: Never break in a new chain under a heavy cutting
load.
10. Watch the chain tension carefully for the fi rst half-hour
of cutting.
