ADJUSTMENTS
Apron Chain
The apron chain is adjusted by (4) adjuster screws
located on the front of the box frame. Figure 10. Adjust
the 3/4” screws so the chains are below the axle, see
Figure 12. When there is no more adjustment left on
the adjuster screws, loosen the nuts on the screws and
push the screws in as far as they will go. Then remove
a link from each chain and readjust the apron chain.
Roller Chain Adjustment
The front, main beater drive chain is automatically
tensioned with a spring loaded tensioner. Proper chain
tension is 1/2 to 3/4" of deflection at midspan on the
loaded chain strand. The automatic tension can be
adjusted with the spring eye bolt. Figure 9.
The upper beater drive chain is automatically
tensioned with a spring loaded tensioner. Proper chain
tension is 1/2 to 3/4" of deflection at midspan on the
loaded chain strand. The automatic tension can be
adjusted with the spring eye bolt. Figure 11.
