Chain tensioning and adjustment of the chain lubrication
1 Chain tensioning
Use gloves during work with the chain!
The chain is tensioned by releasing the two nuts (B). Then screw (A) is tightened to tension the
chain proper. Afterwards, the nuts (B) are tightened.
If you prefer to replace the chain, this is done by releasing the screw A (first release the screws
B) as far so at to allow the chain to be removed in the back for maintenance or replacement.
Check the chain tensioning by pulling the chain on the middle of the sword C. If you are able to
pull the chain 4-5mm up at the edge of the sword, this is considered suitable tensioning. A new
chain becomes is slackened faster and has to be checked more often.
2 Adjustment of the chain lubrication
The need for chain lubrication may vary with the average thickness of the wood material.
The lubrication is adjusted by releasing the connection (D) and turning the eccentric disk
clockwise (+) to increase the lubrication quantity per blow or the opposite (-) to reduce the
quantity
3 Gearbox
Recommended oil: Statoil Gearway PS45 75-90 Specification API GL-5 or similar.
The oil volume is 0.35 litres.
It is very important that the specified oil quality is used particularly with reference to the
lubrication effect in below zero temperatures.
Check the oil level after 50 operating hours or after each season by releasing level screw F as
illustrated in the sketch (the oil to leak at sufficient level). Topping up via the breathing plug E on
the top of the drainage via the plug G. All these are available from the outside of the machine.
Oil change should be carried out every other season or after 500 operating hours (whatever
occurs first). Oil change is to be carried out as prescribed with Statoil Gearway PS45 75-90 API
GL-5.
It is very important to fill the correct quantity of oil into the gearbox.
Too much oil will lead to higher operating temperatures and risk of breakdown.
