Adjusting Oil Flow Rate
Never fill the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the engine running.
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the oil
reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more frequently
than at fuel tank refills. The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that
operates whenever the chain rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate,
but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting
hardwood.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1.
Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF position.
2.
Place the unit on its side with the sprocket side and chain brake assembly facing up.
3.
With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in the desired
direction: Clockwise-decrease lubrication / Counter clockwise-increase lubrication.
