bolts as illustrated in Figure 7-8.
To Adjust Chain Tension:
From S/N 0112076
On Centaur models produced after mid December of 2001
from S/N 0112076, the chain tensioner system has been
changed to a “quick adjust style”. This allows for ease of
adjustment to the chains by employing the use of a socket
and ratchet wrench to the jam nuts threaded to the top of a
tensioner rod. The front four chains still require the tensioner
blocks to move downward to tension the chains, while the
rear four require the tensioner blocks to move upward to ac-
complish the same. When the tensioners have been assem-
bled and slipped into the welded guides of the lower frame
assembly and the chains have been installed to the sprockets,
this means that the front four chains will require the jam nuts
to be turned in a counter-clockwise position to tension the
chains. On the other hand, the rear four chains will become
tensioned when the jam nuts are turned clockwise.
7.2.5 To Replace a Slider Block
1. Remove the floor pans.
2. Loosen the 16mm tensioner bolt and remove.
3. Remove the washer and slider block from the bolt as il-
lustrated in Figure 7-9.
4. Remove the bushing from within the slider block.
5. Install the bushing in the new slider and mount the as-
sembly on the bolt.
6. Re-install onto the frame bracket and tension the chains
as detailed above.
7. Replace the floor pans.
8. On models manufactured from S/N 0112076, remove the
cotter pin and flat washer securing the slider block to the
chain adjuster spindle, and slide it from the shaft (Figure
7-10).
