Tensioning Table
Height Chain
The table height chain is located under the table.
It transfers movement from the handwheel to
the columns that control table height. The chain
drive can be adjusted to remove slack if the chain
stretches over time or is loosened during table
Qty leveling procedures.
Items Needed
Phillips Screwdriver #2 ...................................... 1
Wrench or Socket 14mm ................................... 1
To tension table height chain:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove motor access panel to access table
height chain (see Figure 63).
3.
Loosen both chain-tension lock bolts (see
Figure 63), then push idler sprocket against
chain with moderate pressure to eliminate
slack in chain. While maintaining pressure on
idler sprocket, re-tighten lock bolts.

4.
Clean and lubricate chain and sprockets
(refer to Table Height Chain & Sprockets
on Page 33 for detailed instructions), then
re-install motor access panel.
DO NOT let chain fall off sprockets. It can
be very difficult to return chain to its proper
location on sprockets without changing
table adjustments.
