SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION
STEP 35: (SEE FIGURE 33)
• Pull the tensioning chain until it is extended out as far
as the 3/32" hairpin cotter installed in the chain will
allow. Install a 1/8" hairpin cotter through the chain to
secure it in the extended position.
NOTE: After pulling the chain out, check to make sure
the belt does not rub against the keeper bolts. If the
belt rubs, slightly loosen the bolts, move them as far
from the pulleys as possible, and retighten.
