IMPORTANT
The machine is supplied with
the bar and chain dismantled and the oil and fuel
tanks empty.
WARNING!
Unpacking and complet
-
ing the assembly should be done on a flat and
stable surface, with enough space for ma-
chi ne handling and its packaging, always
making use of suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in

1. SPIKED BUMPER ASSEMBLY
(if not already factory assembled)
– Unscrew the nut (1) and remove the clutch cover
(2).
– Secure the spiked bumper (3) to the machine
frame using the two supplied screws (4) (Fig. 1).
2. BAR AND CHAIN MOUNTING
– Unscrew the nut and remove the clutch cover to
access the drive sprocket and the point where
the bar is to be fitted (Fig. 2).
– Remove the plastic spacer, (1); this spacer must
be used exclusively when transporting the ma

chine in its packaging and must not be used at
any other time (Fig. 2).
– Assemble the bar (2) by inserting the stud bolt in
the groove and push it towards the back of the
machine body (Fig. 3).
– Mount the chain in the right direction around the
drive sprocket and along the bar rail (Fig. 4). If
the tip of the bar has a nose sprocket, make sure
the drive links fit correctly in the sprocket rims.
– Remove the cover without tightening the nut,
making sure to insert the two rear fasteners in
their respective slots properly.
– Check that the chain tension adjuster pin (3) of
the clutch cover is fitted properly in the hole on
the bar; if it isn’t, turn the chain tension ad ju ster
screw (5) using a screwdriver until the pin is
completely inserted (Fig. 5).
– Turn the chain tension adjuster screw (4) to ad
-
just the chain tension (Fig. 5).
– Lifting the bar, tighten the cover nut securely
using the supplied wrench (Fig. 6).

Checking the chain tension
Check the chain tension. The tension is correct
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).
