Drive Chain and Conveyor Chain
Check engine to electric clutch chain tension and
clutch to spinner pulley belt tension. Correct tension
allows 1/4" – 5/16" defl ection midway between the
pulleys.
To increase spinner belt tension: Loosen spinner
bearing bolts, and pull shaft assembly away from the
clutch. After correct tension is achieved, retighten the
bearing bolts.
Check the conveyor chain tension. To check the
tension, measure in 20"–24" from the end of the sills.
Push up on the chain with your hand. The conveyor
chain should lift 1"–3" off the conveyor chain guide or
cross angles.
To increase chain tension: Use the two
5/8" x 6" take-up bolts at the front of the spreader to
adjust conveyor chain tension. Loosen the locknuts
before attempting to adjust the take-up bolts. Turn
both bolts equal amounts to ensure the tension is
equally distributed across both sides of the conveyor
chain.
