• Drag Chain Tension Adjustment
NOTE: Chain tension should be pre-set at factory. However, during normal
operation, chain may stretch enough to require adjustment.
1. Remove chain guard.
2. To adjust chain tension, loosen four (4) bolts that fasten take-up plate to
drive frame. Tighten take-up bolts until desired tension is reached. (Fig.
6A.) Lift the chain half way between tail sprockets and measure the gap.
It should be 2% of the distance between tail sprockets. (Figure 6B). Make
sure both sides are adjusted the same amount. Re-tighten mounting bolts.
3. Lubricate chain per lubrication instructions.
4. Replace chain guard.
