Oil pump adjustment:
The oil pump is factory pre-set and under normal circumstances should not require any
adjustment. If insufficient oil delivery is noticed on a particular chain, then the pump can
be adjusted as follows:
The delivery is regulated for pairs of pressure connections, one above the other. Firstly
unscrew the black plastic cover on top of the pump, which exposes the five adjusting
screws. Adjustment to the delivery must be carried out using a slot-head screwdriver
(Using a smaller screwdriver may damage the adjustment screw, so use size 8 - 10
minimum).
The delivery is increased by turning the adjustment screw in a clockwise
direction and decreased by turning counter clockwise
One full turn (= 6 clicks) corresponds to 0.015 cc and each click equals
0.0025 cc
The maximum possible adjustment equals 3 turns or 18 clicks
7. Clean off this bead of grease so dust
and debris does not stick to it. This
dirty grease could get into the grease
pump at the next cartridge change,
causing a blockage of the grease
system.
8. Drop the plunger lock and top up the
chain oil. Then reset the lube count
on the control box.
