1. Check proper motor shaft rotation before installing drive.
2. Rotate the chain, now on the sprockets, at least one complete revolution. Check to see that the chain
and its wear pads are not catching on flanges or rubbing on the trough sides due to the sprockets
not being centered within the box.
3. Ensure a “break-in” period whereby the chain is allowed to run and seat itself.
4. After running it for an adequate period of time, stop the machine, disconnect and lock out the
power source.
5. Re-tighten as necessary and remove any excess chain portions.
6. Repeat this process as necessary.
7. Before first run, remove the locking rubber piece from the breather plug on the top of the drive.
