Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the 
special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.

The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive 
sprockets:

A   Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)

B   Rim sprocket (replaceable)

Both versions have a needle bearing on the drive shaft, which 
has to be greased regularly (once a week). CAUTION! Use a 
high-quality bearing grease or engine oil.

Check the chain daily for:

•

Visible cracks in rivets and links.

•

Whether the chain is stiff.

•

Whether rivets and links are badly worn.

We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new 
chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.

When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4 
mm the chain must be replaced.

The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive 
sprockets:

A   Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)

B   Rim sprocket (replaceable)

Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. 
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket 
whenever you replace the chain.

Check regularly:

•

Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove 
these with a file if necessary.

•

Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn. 
Replace the bar if necessary.

•

Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a 
hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to 
running with a slack chain.

•

To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.
