CONVEYOR CHAIN VERIFICATION 

FIGURES 32, 33 AND 34

Check chain stretch every 40 hours of operation or at the 

end of the season. When chain stretch exceeds 1.5%, 

drum sprocket sections must be adjusted as shown fur-

ther. Use the special gauge located under the right chain 

guard (figure 32). This gauge is supplied with the attach-

ment and is used for checking chain stretch.

Figure 32  Chain gauge

Set gauge on chain as shown in figure 33. The left side 

of the gauge must rest against one of the rivets as shown 

in figure 34. The chain must be adjusted when one of 

the rivets (on the left) is resting on the chain gauge as 

shown in figure 34.
