Certain paragraphs in the manual contain particu-
larly significant information and are marked with
various levels of highlighting with the following
meaning:
These give details or further information
on what has already been indicated, and
aim to prevent both damage to the ma-
chine, and the machine from causing da-
mage.
4. MACHINE ASSEMBLY
The machine is supplied with the bar and
chain dismantled and the oil and fuel
tanks empty.
CAUTION!
Unpacking and completing the as-
sembly should be done on a flat and
stable surface, with enough space
for machine handling and its packa-
ging, always making use of suitable
equipment. Disposal of the packaging
should be done in accordance with
the local regulations in force.
CAUTION!
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when
handling the bar and chain. Mount the
bar and chain very carefully so as not
to impair the safety and efficiency of
the machine. If in doubt, contact your
dealer.
Before fitting the bar, make sure the chain brake is
not engaged; this is done by pulling the front hand
guard right back towards the body of the machine.
CAUTION!
Perform all operations with the engine
off.
1. SPIKED BUMPER ASSEMBLY (if not
already factory assembled)
– Unscrew the nuts (1) and remove the clutch
cover (2).
– Secure the spiked bumper (3) to the machine
frame using the two supplied screws (4) (Fig.
1).
5. PREPARING TO WORK
36
CAUTION!
Non-observance will result in the risk
of injury to oneself or others.
DANGER!
Non-observance will result in the risk
of serious injury or death to oneself or
others.
2. BAR AND CHAIN MOUNTING
– Unscrew the nuts and remove the clutch co-
ver to get to the drive sprocket and point
where the bar is to be fitted (Fig. 2).
– Remove the two cardboard spacers, (3);
these spacers must be used exclusively
when transporting the machine in its packa-
ging and must not be used at any other time
(Fig. 2).
– Mount the bar (4) by inserting the stud bolts
in the groove and push it towards the back of
the machine body (Fig. 2).
– Mount the chain in the right direction around
the drive sprocket and along the bar rail (Fig.
3). If the tip of the bar has a nose sprocket,
make sure the drive links fit correctly in the
sprocket rims.
– Check that the chain tension adjuster pin (5)
is fitted properly in the hole on the bar; if it
isn't, turn the chain tension adjuster screw (6)
using a screwdriver until the pin is completely
inserted (Fig. 4).
– Fit the guard back on without tightening the
nuts.
– Turn the chain tension adjuster screw (6) to
adjust the chain tension (Fig. 5).
– Raise the bar and tighten the guard nuts se-
curely using the wrench (Fig. 6).
– Check the chain tension. The tension is cor-
rect when the drive links do not slip out of
the chain guides if you hold the chain in the
middle of the bar (Fig. 7).
– Using a screwdriver, make the chain run
along the guides to check it moves smoothly
without resistance.
