ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust front drive chain, slightly loosen bolts holding pillow
block bearing at rear of front jack shaft. Loosen jam nut on
tightener rod. Turn adjusting nut (located at the right hand front
side of spreader) clockwise. There should be 1/2” deflection at
the center of the drive chain. Overtightening or too loose of a
chain will result in excessive wear on the bearing, chain and
sprockets. Retighten bolts holding bearing. Recheck chain
tension. Retighten jam nut.
