Figure 51 — Adjusting the Pusher Chain Tension

7.4 Adjusting the pusher transmission chain tension

After the first 50 hours of use and every 100 hours thereafter, you will need to adjust the pusher
transmission chain tension.

To adjust the chain tension:

1. Loosen the four bolts on the side of the transmission (A, Figure 52).
2. Tighten the nut on the tension bolt underneath the transmission (B, Figure 52) until the

correct tension is reached.

3. Tighten the four bolts on the side of the transmission (A, Figure 52).
