TRANSMISSION DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS
Use a 6mm ‘Allen Key’ open the left & right hand front transmission panels to gain access to the transmission.
PRIMARY DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
1. The primary drive chain is located behind the front transmission panels.
2. The correct adjustment setting for this chain is a maximum of 25mm play on the tension side (figure 22)
3. This is adjusted by slackening the sprocket idler bolt ‘A’ and lock bolt ‘B’. Move the assembly in, to tension
the chain (figure23).When correct tension is achieved, re-tighten lock bolt ‘A’ and lock bolt ‘B’.
AUGER DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
1. The main auger drive chain tensioner is located behind the front transmission panels
2. The correct adjustment setting for the chain is a total 48mm compressed length of the ‘Belleville’ washers
(figure 24).
3. Adjust nut ‘A’ to obtain the correct compressive length.
4. If correct chain tension can no longer be obtained by the chain tensioner (due to initial chain stretch).
Further adjustment can be obtained by moving the lower chain idler sprocket to an alternative hole position
Figure 25.
5. Slacken and remove clamp bolt ‘A’. Reposition idler sprocket assembly, chain and bolt ‘A’. Re-tension the
