Adjusting the chain tension
Adjust the chain tension until it is just tight, so there is minimal lost motion between the drive

• Drives mounted horizontally: place as many of the supplied shims as necessary under the
mounting foot (see
• Drives mounted vertically: use the slots in the mounting foot to move the drive up or down
