Maintenance

Hornet™ XL

Clean Chains

Chains and extension chains can become dirty causing the
chains to slip on the pipe.

Clean any debris from the chains using a stiff bristled

brush.

Clean Fitting Adapter

Clean any debris from the adapter using a clean cloth.

Clean Drill Adapter

Clean any debris from the adapter using a clean cloth.

Adjust Gearbox Chain Tension

Tighten the set screw to adjust the chain tension.

NOTICE:

Over-tightening the screw will apply too much chain

tension and will cause the carriage to not move easily and
damage the chain and gears of the gearbox.

Move the handwheel to the other gearbox and adjust

the chain tension on the second gearbox.
