I recently purchased a bark box from West Coast saw and I am wondering what do I need to do after installing it (the first start up) in order to not cause any damage to the saw?
Do I need to reset it after installing the bark box?
Here are the 2 procedures I found online for M Tronic saws. Does this make sense? All help is appreciated

Method 1 for M-Tronic re-set:
- Remove the scabbard
- Ensure the chain brake is engaged (on)
- Put the machine in the ▲ Cold start position
- Start the machine and run it in the ▲ Cold start position for at least 90 seconds
- Do not touch the throttle or accelerate the saw during this time
- After 90 seconds, switch off the machine
- Your machine is now re-calibrated and ready for operation
Method 2 for M-Tronic re-set:
- Remove the scabbard
- Ensure the chain brake is engaged (on)
- Put the machine in the ▲ Cold start position
- Start the machine and run it in the ▲ Cold start position for at least 30 seconds but no more than 60 seconds (the period marked as A in the diagram below)
- Do not touch the throttle or accelerate the saw during this time
- Disengage/release the chain brake
- Open/squeeze the throttle fully for at least 30 seconds (B in the diagram)
- Engine speed varies noticeably during calibration
- As soon as the engine speed drops noticeably (C), release the throttle back to the idle position
- When the engine is back to idle speed, engage the chain brake and switch off
- Your saw is calibrated and ready for operation
