Adjusting Arm Chain Tension and Gripper
Position
Proper chain tension is essential for smooth operation of the Versa Hand™ arm on A
UTOMIZER
™
vehicles.
To adjust chain tension of the Versa Hand arm, apply the following procedure:
1.
Lower the gripper to its lowest position.
2.
With your bare hands, pull each of the two chains at mid-height section of the mast, close to the 2
bolts circled in Figure 10-10.
Figure 10-10 Testing height on the mast
This step allows to determine if the tension on both chains is well adjusted. The force applied on
each chain (approx. 50
lb-ft) should move it forward and create a gap of 1/2” to 1
1/2”
between
the chain and the mast surface (see Figure 10-11).
Danger!
When performing the following procedure, always lock out and tag out the vehicle in
order to work in a secure environment (see
