To check & adjust chain tension requires two people, one 

person will be at the top floor and one at the bottom floor. 

 

With the dumbwaiter car at the bottom floor open the hoistway door 
and have the person at the top floor open the motor access panel / 
door. 

 

Through the motor access panel / door open the controller and use 
the “Up” contactor to move the dumbwaiter car up until the bottom 
of the car is 3-6 feet above the floor. 

(see Figures 10, 11 & 13)  (see Page 14 for Contactor Operation)

 

 

Verify that both the front and back chains are taught.  

(see Figure 

11)

  If there is any slop in the chain continue on to the next step.  If 

the chains are both taught go on to 

Step 7

 

Close the bottom floor hoistway door and motor access panel / 
door and use the push buttons to send the dumbwaiter car up to 
the top floor and open the top floor hoistway door and motor 
access panel / door. 

 

Through the motor access panel / door open the controller and use 
the “Down” contactor to move the dumbwaiter car down until the 
top of the car is lined up with the bottom of the top hoistway door.  

(see Figures 10, 11 & 13)

 

 

Using two 9/16” wrenches (15/16” for MJ-500 model), back lock nut 
off and then tighten down adjustment nut two revolutions and 
tighten lock nut up to adjustment nut securely using a blade 
screwdriver or needle nose pliers to hold the chain from twisting 
and then go back to 

Step 1

 to verify chain tension. 

(see Figure 12)

 

NOTE:  

Do not overtighten the chain.  If the chain slaps during 

operation of the dumbwaiter, the chain is too tight. 

 

Close hoistway doors and motor access then use the push buttons 
to send the dumbwaiter car to a floor. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or 

problems please do not hesitate to call us.
