8.2 ADJUSTMENTS
8.2.1 Main Apron Cross Chains
Check the main apron chain tension after unloading the first ten loads
.
Check chain tension daily for the next five days of operation,
and weekly thereafter.
Locate the removable links by inspecting the chain and
locating the section of links with cotter pins (Item 1).
To tighten chains, tighten the adjuster bolts at each end and
center of the front sprocket shaft (Item 1). Each apron chain
has its own sprocket shaft. At the center cutout there is an
adjuster bolt for each shaft. Tighten the adjuster bolts at each
end of each shaft equally.
NOTE: If adjuster bolt(s) reaches maximum travel,
remove equal links from each strand. Removable
links are provided in the chain.
Removable master links are included in each of the four
strands for shortening the chain after tightener travel is at its
maximum. Remove a link from each of the four strands at the
same time to assure proper timing, then re-adjust the adjuster
bolts so the apron chain is at proper tension.
Initial wear in of chain will require adjustment to maintain proper
chain tension. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CHAIN TENSION MAY
VOID WARRANTY.
