CHAIN TENSIONER

CHAIN TENSIONER INSPECTION

A
Inspect the chain when the chain comes within 1/8" of the
muffler mount bracket (A) on the chassis, the chain has been
stretched and must be replaced.
To tighten the chain tension adjust the roller so that chain slack
is not too tight and not too loose. Inspect the sprockets as they
also can become worn and often need replacement when the
chain is replaced.
Periodic chain adjustment is required. Inspect the tensioner
roller. If surface is worn or out of round, replace.
Excessive travel indicates a need to adjust the brake cable
adjuster.
