Chain Inspection
•
There is a break-in period where the disc chain will wear in and become longer.
•
More frequent adjustments will be necessary on a new machine.
•
Over time, as the disc chain wears, it may be necessary to remove a link to maintain disc chain
tension. This is the most important check and adjustment to ensure a long working life for the disc
chain.
