CAUTION: The chain sprockets have a slip fit onto
their shafts. Apply only a slight amount of pressure
to the chain spreader to release the chain pressure.
If chain sprockets are not spread slightly removal
or installation will be difficult. Overspreading of the
chain sprocket will also make sprocket removal dif-
ficult.
