CHAIN TENSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these simple steps to tighten the main drive chain which runs in the oil bath reservoir. Remember: You do
not need to remove the reservoir cover to tighten the drive chain.
1. Locate the take-up bolt. This bolt is found on the right side of the blower, through the large hole in the side
shield. Inside the shield you will find a locking channel up, exposing the idler take-up bolt.
2. Using a torque wrench, tighten the take-up bolt by turning it clockwise to 9 ft. lbs. of torque. Turn bolt head
clockwise until the bolt head flats are parallel with the locking channel to slip back over the bolt head.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten the chain by following these instructions. The chain should be tightened after the first
10 hours of operation and ever 100 hours thereafter.
