4.8. CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE DRIVE CHAIN                                        (Figure 10) 

 
During  the  operation  and  under  the  load,  the  drive  chain  stretches,  therefore  the  operator 
must check and readjust the chain periodically to prevent excessive wear of the whole chain 
drive. The chain must not be set to tight and chain slack should be set to ±3 mm. Check the 
tightness of the chain by hand, pushing the chain between the chain wheels. 
 
Lubricate the chain using special chain lubrication spray.  
  

Procedure : 
 



If the winch is connected to the tractor, shut down the tractor and disconnect the PTO shaft 



Unscrew the screw 

3

 and remove the chain cover 

by pushing it upwards.  



Loosen both nuts 

2

 by approximately one turn 



Tighten the drive chain, by screwing the nut on the tightening screw 

1

 until you reach the 

desired chain slack: ±3 mm         



Screw the nuts 

2

 tightly 



Install the chain cover and fasten it using the screw
