Running in a new 560xp

[Marc Lewis]

Hi all, I received delivery of a new 560xp today and want to run it in correctly. In the past I have always just cracked on and used them as normal. I believe the modern way of running them in is to use them hard rather than let them tick over and take it easy on them. I have also heard of ways to set the auto tune, along the lines of, 'full revs into a large log for 4 minutes non stop', can anybody confirm this please? Thanks in advance, marc.

Hi Marc, hope you're all good.

Got my 560 last month, just ran it full bore in a log to set auto tune, then used as normal.

Awesome saw, even with a 20" bar buried in a rock hard beech stem it didn't even slighty slow down!

I am in the same boat, have read the book, it says "Running in, avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods during the first 10 hours".

 

But in Carb adjustment it says "Accelerate the engine and saw a number of cuts in a thick log (3-5min). The chain saw must run 8000-12000 the entire time so that the carb can adjust itself"

 

So it must mean "run it like you stole it but don't scream the nuts off it".

 

I will be revving it in the power band 9600 for 5 mins in oak

 

Have you removed the spark arrestor ?

Yes mate. (on 3/8) - i won't be using it for all day logging, that would be for 70cc+, but it can certainly pull a 20" bar through any wood, i'm confident of that after testing it on the beech. So a good lightweight saw for climbing when the 200t is too small.

4 mins seems an awful long time, be quite nervy but if that's what it says....
