BASIC GUIDE-BAR MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)

■

Turn nose sprocket while

pumping grease until whole

sprocket has new grease.

Do not push dirt into the

hole.

●●

◆◆

◆ With chain on

the bar, hold a straightedge

against the bar body and

against a cutter side plate.

A good groove will hold the

chain straight, leaving a

small gap between the

straightedge and bar body.

A worn groove will let the chain lean until straightedge

is flush with bar body. Replace bar if groove is worn.

◆ On sprocket-nose bars,

check for clearance around the

bar’s tip between the tops of

rails and the bottoms of cutters

or tie straps. Replace nose

sprockets before cutters or tie

straps contact the bar rails.
