Loggers Safety Chaps

How the chaps & Pads Protect  by offering cut resistance that slows and stops the chain from spinning. With this chap added protection is provided if the pad material is pulled into the drive sprocket, jammin the chain from moving.  The chaps should be properly adjusted and worn snug-not tight or loose-to keep them positioned correctly on the legs. Proper fit and correct legnth-to the instep provides maximize protection.

Care and Maintenance

Take care of your chaps. Don’t wrap them around the saw bar while carrying your saw. Store chaps away from the saw gas and oil when traveling.  Keep your saw clean. This will reduce the oil buildup on chaps. Inspect your chaps periodically for oil, and keep them as oil-free as possible. This reduces flammabilitly and surface slickness.

To remove heavy oil, as well as stubborn dirt and stains, treat first with non-chlorine bleach solvent, follow with a spray cleaner or detergent and water. Brush with a bristle brush. Rinse thorughly in warm water. Hang dry. Do not bleach or machine  wash or dry any of these chaps. Remove light oil and less persistan stains by washing with any detergents that do ot contain chlorine bleach. To clean mud or loose dirt, allow it to dry, then remove with a stiff bristle brush. If stain  remains, do as recomended above.

Inspection

Inspect the nylon shell closely for spot melting caused by resting an overly hot muffler against the chaps. Look for small surface cuts. These occur when resting the chain on the chaps or stopping the chain with the chaps.  These cuts are warning of near misses or improper use.

When to remove chaps from Service

If a chap or pad is cut in any direction, it cuts the Kevlar strands. Even if another accident occurs in another location, it will only pull out the Kevlar  strands that have  previously been cut, resulting in a possible injury. That is why you’ll notice the chaps are sewn only on the edge of the chaps. That allows the chain to pull out the maximum amount of fabrics to clog the chain and sprocket.  After only one cut, replace chaps immediatly. https://clearwatersawshop.com/safety-chaps

The Max-Flow filter system is easy to install and does not require any modifications. Using this filter kit will increase your RPM on your Stihl Chain Saw. When using this filter you will want to use the Bel-Ray filter oil. You will drizzle the Bel-Ray oil over the filter.  In this case just enough to cover the filter, light. Our kits include: A filter cage, heavy-duty rain cover, two foam elements, a nut plate, and instructions. The system can be used with or without the rain cover.

The kit comes with a green element and a white one. Each of them different pore sizes for different working conditions. The small-pore (80) foam is best when working in dusty conditions. The large pore (60) foam offers maximum flow, but does not filter the fine particles. Both of these filters can be washed and reusable. MAX-FLOW recommends filters use BEL RAY foam filter oil after each cleaning.

Our Max-Flow filter kits are available for the Stihl ms 044, ms 046, ms 066, ms 660.

To install the Max-flow filter you should first:

1) Remove the factory cover and filter. Determine if your saw has any flanges that will interfere with the filter seating on the saw plate. If so the flanges may need to be trimmed (photo A) (on instruction pack)

2) The filter should preferably be mounted using the Max-flow cover (photo B). this keeps the element from being torn, and also helps prevent icing in rainy conditions. In some cases the element can be run exposed, and a securing plate is supplied for this application (Photo C). (on instruction pack)

3)The kit is supplied with a green (60 pore) and a white(80 pore) element. In most applications the green element will suffice, but because the white element holds more oil it should be used in more demanding cutting situations. before installation, thoroughly work a quality FOAM FILTER OIL,(such as Bell Ray or UNI) into the foam. CAUTION!  DO NOT USE the red oil used on use bar lube, incorrect oil may damage the cylinder, insert the cage into the element and center it evenly (photo D). Place it over the mounting stud on the saw, and secure it with the cover nut from your factory cover. (photo on instruction pack)

4)Because your saw is breathing easier, most saws will increase their top end RPM and require a high speed mixture screw adjustment. Failure to adjust the RPM of your saw to factory specs will lead to over speed and premature failure.

5)Clean the element anytime you see dust or dirt in the cage to assure top performance. Use the solvent, foam filter cleaner, or soap and water. Completely dry the filter and re-oil it before use.
