Adjustments - H&S 560 Operator's Manual

APRON
Tighten the four adjusting bolts (1 on each side of
spreader and the two below the input shaft shield)
equally so that the apron slats run parallel with the
ends of the bed. The apron will be damaged if the
machine is operated with one end of the apron
slats running ahead of the opposite end.
Adjust the tightener bolts equally on both sides of
each apron until (three) slats are lifted off of the
apron return slides at the front and rear of the
spreader.
FRONT DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust the front drive chain, loosen the jam nut and turn the nut on the adjusting rod (located at the right
hand front side of spreader) clockwise. There should be 1/2" deflection at the center of the drive chain.
Over tightening or too loose of a chain will result in excessive wear on the bearing, chain and sprockets.
After adjusting, lock with the jam nut.
APRON DRIVE
Check the apron drive chain regularly. To adjust, loosen the nut on the tightener and slide the tightener
against the chain until there is approximately 1/8" deflection in the center of the chain opposite the
tightener.
