Adjustments - H&S 125 PTO Operator's Manual

DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust the main drive chain, turn the
nut on the adjusting rod (located at the
left hand front side of spreader) clockwise.
There should be 1/2 inch deflection
at the center of drive chain. Over
tightening or too loose of a chain, will
result in excessive wear on the bearing,
chain and sprockets.
MAIN APRON CHAIN
Adjust the apron by tightening the adjusting bolts until the
apron chain clears the underside of the axle by 1 inch.
NOTE: Tighten the adjusting bolts on each front corner
equally on each side 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. Do not tighten the apron chains
excessively.
APRON/BEATER DRIVE CHAINS
Maintain proper tension on the apron & beater
drive chains. There should be 1/4" deflection
at the side of the chain when properly adjusted.
To adjust, loosen the bolt holding the tightener.
Slide the tightener against the drive chain and
retighten the bolt. Failure to maintain proper
tension will result in excessive wear to the
chain and sprockets.
