Side case (Fig. 5-3)
Always keep the side case and drive area clean of saw dust and debris.
Periodically apply oil or grease to this area to protect from corrosion as some trees contain high
levels of acid.

Before using the machine, clean the groove and oiler port (1) in the bar with the special gauge
offered as an optional accessory.
Oiler port (Fig. 5-1)
Clean the chain oiler port (1) whenever possible.
Angle transmission (Fig.5-4)
Check angle transmission or angle gear for grease level about every 50 hours of operation by
removing the grease filler plug on the side of angle transmission.
If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gears, fill the transmission with a quality lithium
based multipurpose grease up to 3/4.
Do not completely fill the transmission.
