133.4 Lubricating the chain-saw, Fig. 13, all modelsThe machine is equipped with an automatic lubricatorfor applying saw-chain oil.The feeding rate of the forced-action piston pump isadjustable and precise. The oil flow may be adjustedfrom about 0,3 millilitres to 0,7 millilitres per crosscutoperation.Filling capacity about 1,5 litres. The feeding rate of theapplicator pump has been adjusted to about 0,5millilitres per crosscut operation.13CANOTEThe volume of oil applied at each pass is sufficient by a fair margin tolubricate the chain under normal conditions.If you cut a lot of thick trees, it advisable to increase the oil volume.Temporarily, the oil volume can be increased by lifting up the crosscutsaw-bar and, immediately after that, resuming the operation.3.5 Adjusting the oil volume, all models Undo the lock nut for the adjustment screw. Twisting the adjustment screw A by one turn reduces the oil rate by about 0,08millilitres. Undoing the screw by one turn correspondingly increases the feeding rate.3.6 Checking the oil level, Fig. 13bWarning ! The machine must be stoppedDisconnect the hose from the motor and drain offsome oil.Lift the hose to a vertical position and execute onecomplete pumping cycle by pressing the crosscutsaw-bar all the way from top to bottom.The oil level in the hose rising by about 10 mmduring the crosscut motion corresponds to an oil 13 bfeeding rate of 0,5 millilitres/operation.The oil is applied evenly to the saw-chain throughout the entire crosscut operation.NOTE The surface of the oil must always be visible in the sight glass C, Fig. 13,because the suction point of the pump is on the same level with the lowerpart of the sight class.Palax_KS_35_Ergo+S_v4_07_EN.doc
