GUIDE BAR AND DIAMOND CHAIN INSTALLATION

STEP 6

Install side cover and thread the side cover nuts on finger tight.

STEP 7

Manually pull the chain across the top of the guide bar away from the Wallwalker®. It is normal for the chain hanging under the guide bar to alternately tighten and loosen as the chain rotates. See Note 1.

STEP 8

Hold the guide bar nose up and tension the chain. The chain should be tight but able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand.

See Note 2

STEP 9

Continue to lift up on the nose of the guide bar and firmly tighten the side cover nuts.

See Note 3.

Note 1: Be aware that the guide bar rails may develop sharp edges over time so always pull the diamond chain by the diamond segments.

Note 2: Do not “over tension” the diamond chain. Loss of power will result. It is normal for the drivelinks to hang underneath the guide bar. The diamond chain should be tight but be able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand.

Note 3: To prevent chain tensioner breakage, be sure the side cover nuts are tightened to approximately 20 ft-lbs (27Nm).
