Chain tension of the conveyor (1)
Checking the track tension:
For daily inspection look straight through
under the bumper. The chain must not
hang below the bottom edge of the bumper.
Should readjustment be necessary, measure the slack unloaded from the bottom
edge of the floor plate to the bottom edge of the chain (see the figure). Also conveyor
chain supports should be inspected daily and can be seen by looking straight through
under the bumper. Clean the support every 1000 hours of operation and before ad-
justing the tension.
The chains should not be too tight or too
slack. If the chain is too tight, material
between the chain and the sprocket
wheel can lead to stoppage or break-
age.
If the chain is too slack, it may get stuck
in the protruding objects and be dam-
aged.
With the paver resting on a level surface the sag of both portions should be a mini-
mum of 11 inches!
Checking the chain tension:
Chain tension can be adjusted with 4
tension-screws (A) The tension-screws
are located at the front of the cross-
beam.
- Loosen the bolts (B) and remove the
locking clamp (C).
- Set the necessary chain tension by
turning the tension-screws (A).
- Remount the locking clamp (C) with
the bolt (B).
