MAINTENANCE

Chain Tension

To adjust the Transmission Chain, loosen the 5/8" Idler
Sprocket Axle Bolt and then adjust the Clevis Drawbolt
Locknut to obtain about 1/8"-1/4" sag. Re-tighten the Idler
Sprocket Axle Bolt. Be careful not to over-tighten this
chain. See Figures 5-4 and 5-5.
Adjust the #550 Chain between the Front Roller and
Transmission by adjusting the Nylatron Tension Idler to
allow approximately 2" of Total Chain Deflection.
