too tight. To check the tightness of the chain:
a. On the slack side of the chain, between
the drive sprocket and rotating sprocket,
push the chain inward.
b. Now pull the chain outward.
c. The distance the chain travels, side-to-
side,shouldbebetween1/8”inchand
1/4”.
d. If the travel exceeds this amount,
tighten the chain using the adjustment
mechanism.
4. Remove any dirt or debris on the chain. Dirt
buildup on the roller chain and sprockets will
have an abrasive effect when suspended in
lubrication and can cause premature wear.
5. Check for signs of wear on the inner surfaces
of the roller chain and teeth of the sprockets.

Inspectthechainforflexibility,makingcertain
that each and every link joint is free to pivot.

over the life of the tender. A chain should be
replacedifanyorallofthepitches(distance

8. Check the entire chain for any signs of fatigue
such as cracks, loose pins, or loose bushings.
Also check for corrosion or pitted surfaces.
Replace any damaged chain.
9. Check the sprockets for signs of wear, such
as cracks, thinning of the teeth, hook-shaped
teeth, or wear patterns on the sides of the
teeth. Also check for corrosion or pitted
surfaces. Replace any damaged sprockets.
