Husqvarna 316 Filling chain oil, Checking automatic chain lubrication system, Checking chain wear

Filling chain oil

•All our chain saw models feature automatic chain lubrication.

Checking automatic chain lubrication system

•Start the chain saw and point the guide bar towards a fixed, light-coloured object at a distance of approximately 20 cm. After running the saw for a minute, a streak of oil spatter should be clearly visible on the light surface.

•A full reservoir is sufficient for 20 minutes of steady use.

•If the lubrication system does not seem to be working, and the following steps do not help, take your saw to a service dealer.

-Check the guide bar's oil passage and clean if necessary.

-Check guide bar groove and clean if necessary.

-Ensure that the nose sprocket turns easily and is not clogged. Clean and grease if necessary.
