| ||
inside the scabbard. The chain has |
|
| 10 |
|
|
|
been placed on the guide bar at the |
|
|
|
|
| |
factory to insure that the teeth are |
|
|
|
|
|
|
facing in the proper direction when |
|
|
|
| 13 | |
you first attach it. Should the chain |
|
|
|

come off of the guide bar, refer to the |
|
|
|
|
|
|

| (8) with one hand and pull the guide bar scabbard (12) off with your | |
| free hand. |

| (19). Check to make sure that the slot (20) in the guide bar (8) is | |
| over the two location pins (21) | F |
| shown in figure E and that the hole | |
| below the slot is located over the |
|
• | adjustment pin (22). | 23 |
Replace sprocket cover (10) and | ||

|
| with wrench until snug, then back | 13 |

| then tighten the front allen screw. Make sure both allen screws are | |
• | securely tightened. Do not overtighten. | |
When the chain is new check the tension frequently (after | ||

stretches slightly.
