Periodically check the floor apron chain for tension/tightness (refer to Figure 3A).
Procedure for checking/adjusting the floor apron chain:
a) Pull up firmly on the center slat of the floor apron chain.
NOTE: The force required to adequately pull up on the apron chain to determine the
tension measures approximately 30 lbs.
b) If you can lift it higher than five (5) inches, the chain is too loose.
c) If you can lift it not higher than three (3) inches, the chain is too tight.
d) If the chain needs adjustment, turn the front nut clockwise or counterclockwise until correct
tension/tightness is achieved. (See Figure 3B.) Repeat for the other side. Make sure that
the chains on each side of the apron are equally taut.
