Anderson Group Self-Loading Bale Carrier – Operator's Manual 77
7.3 Adjusting the tension of the pusher chains
After the first 50 hours of using the bale carrier and every 100 hours thereafter, you will need to
check the tension of the pusher chains and adjust it, if needed.
To check and adjust the chain tension:
1. Remove the covers on the front and rear transmissions and clean the chains and sprockets
thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris (hay, dust, mud, nets).
2. For each transmission, ensure that the two (2) chains are synchronized. The chains are
synchronized when they have the same number of links between the pusher and transmission
(Figure 38), and the rollers on each chain interlock with the same teeth on the two sprockets
(Figure 39).
