Chain Tension - Poulan Pro PP5020AV Manuel D'instructions

NOTE:
If clutch cover can not be easily re-
moved from the chain saw, ensure chain brake is
disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back
toward the front handle as far as possible.
4. Remove the plastic shipping spacer (if
present).
5. An adjustment pin and screw is used to
adjust the tension of the chain. It is very
important when assembling the bar that
the adjustment pin (located on the ad-
justment screw) passes through the
lower bar pin hole. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down
the screw. Locate this adjustment pin
before you begin mounting the bar onto
the saw. See following illustration.
6. Turn the adjusting screw by hand counter-
clockwise until the adjusting pin is located
between the two indicator marks on the
clutch cover. This should allow the pin to
be near the correct position.
7. Slide guide bar on bar bolts until guide bar
stops against clutch drum sprocket.
