hakki pilke 1x37 chain

[howburn]

I am helping a mate get going with a hakki pilke 1x37.

 

We replaced the chain and bar about 10 days ago with a Carlton 16-01W-K2-TC12 bar and .325" - .058", 66 LINKS, SEMI-CHISEL chain.

 

The bar is being turned everyday but the chain needs tightening at least 3 times a day, and is now past being tightened, and he has reverted to the old chain for the time being. I am not sure what this chain is.

 

I have read on this forum that Jonsered bar’s and chains are best for this machine, and I have ordered Jonsered chain (5045701-66). But this will also be a ripper chain so we don’t want the same to happen.

 

What chains are others using?

 

Thanks

I had the same problem with my 1x37 until I opened up the chain oil tap a little bit more to allow a bit more oil onto the bar and bingo, just tighten up once a day now .
