5.2.5 CHAIN TENSION
Rotational power from the jack shaft is transmitted to
the airlock through the chain drive. To obtain e cient
transmission of power and good chain life, the chain
must be properly tensioned.
Chains that are too tight will stretch and wear quickly
or overload the bearings. Chains that are too loose will
skip on the sprocket and cause sprocket damage.
Follow this procedure when checking and adjusting
chain tension:
1. Clear the area of all bystanders, especially small
children.
2. Stop the unit and wait for all moving parts to stop
before maintaining.
3. Ensure that the unit power source is completely
shut down and can not start up. Lock-out tag-out.
4. Unbolt and remove the belt/chain cover. Lay to the
side.
5. Loosen block tensioner bolt.
6. Press the block tensioner against chain.
7. Retighten block tensioner bolt.
8. Install and latch belt/chain cover.
9. Be sure all guards are installed and secured be-
fore resuming work.
