Installing The Chain

1. Using the small end of the plug

wrench, remove the sprocket cover

nut (turn counterclockwise to

remove) and remove the sprocket

cover. See Figure 14.

WARNING!

Never operate the pole pruner

without the sprocket cover installed.

CAUTION!

Failure to align the guide bar and

chain tensioning pin can cause

serious damage to the sprocket

cover, guide bar, chain tensioning

pin and cutting head assembly.

WARNING!

Never attempt to install, replace,

or adjust the chain with the engine

running.

NOTE:

For longest chain life, let new or

replacement chain loops soak in oil

overnight before installation.

WARNING!

The saw chain is very sharp. Wear

gloves to protect your hands when

handling.

2. Place the guide bar over the guide

bar adjustment stud on the cutting

head assembly. Align the chain

tensioning pin with the hole in the

guide bar. See Figure 15.

3. Install the chain loop over the drive

links within the guide bar groove,

and then align the chain over the

drive sprocket. Verify that the

cutters are properly oriented as

shown in Figure 16. If chain

installation is difficult or if the chain

appears too tight, refer to the

section “Adjusting the Chain” on

the next page.

4. Install the

sprocket cover

over the bar stud.

Using finger-

pressure only,

install the

nut.
