4.2.1- Filing the Oil Reservoir
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40
minutes of cutting time (when set to deliver the minimum flow
rate)
1. Place the pole pruner on a clean, flat surface with the oil
filler cap facing up. See FigPP8.
Wipe off any debris from the oil cap and from around the oil
filler neck.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and fill the reservoir with bar and
chain oil, then replace the cap.
3. Wipe up spilled oil from the unit before restarting the pole
pruner.
4.2.2- Adjusting Oil Flow Rate
CAUTION! An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent
checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to
check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills.
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that
operates whenever the chain rotates.
The pump is set at the factory to deliver a medium flow rate, but it can
be adjusted in the field.
Temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things
like hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the STOP
position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up. See Fig.PP9.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and
turn in the desired direction (there are two incremental settings):
- Clockwise - decrease lubrication.
- Counterclockwise - increase lubrication
CAUTION! The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in order to turn. Failure to do
so could damage the Pump and screw.
4.3- Wearing the Strap (see BC7)
1. Hook the strap hook to the hanger on the outer pipe.
2. Wear the strap so that the hook stays at your right hand side.
3. Adjust the length of the strap so that you can hold and operate the machine comfortably.
4.4- Preparations
1. Wear suitable protective clothing and equipment-see section "safety Precautions".
2. Choose the best work position for safety against the falling object (Branch etc)
3. Start the engine.
4. Put on the strap.
5. Never stand directly underneath the branch you are cutting - be wary of falling branches.
Note that a branch may spring back at you after it hits the ground.
