5. Place the guide bar on the mounting surface by sliding the guide bar slot over the
alignment flanges, making sure that the tension adjusting pin is inserted in the
lower hole in the tail of the bar (Fig. 26a).
6. Replace the side cover and lightly tighten the side cover knob by turning it
clockwise. The bar must be free to move for tension adjustment.
NOTICE:
To extend the guide bar life, invert the bar occasionally.
CAUTION:
7. Remove all the slack from the chain by turning the chain-tensioning knob
clockwise until the chain seats snugly against the guide bar with the drive links in
the guide bar groove.
8. Lift the tip of the guide bar up to
check for sag (Fig. 27). Release
the tip of the guide bar and turn
the chain-tensioning knob once
clockwise. Repeat this process until
the sag is eliminated.
9. Hold the tip of the guide bar up
and tighten the side cover knob
securely. The chain is correctly
tensioned when there is no sag on
the underside of the guide bar and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand
without binding.
NOTICE:
If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the side cover knob slightly
and turn the tensioning knob once from right to left. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the side cover knob securely. Assure that the chain will rotate without binding.
