10. While the meter is removed, take time to inspect the
meter drive chain , idlers and drive sprocket ,
and perhaps perform the periodic chain lubrication.
Machine Damage Risk:
Even if a row will not be used, a meter must be installed.
Operating the drill with a meter removed will result in
machine damage. The meter housing is required to keep the
drive plate aligned. With no meter present, the drive chain
will strike drill parts.
Refer to Figure 58
