17.5.1 Check the chain tension
Correctly tensioned chain will have a loose lift of 0.4-0.8 in
between the sprocket. Loose lift less than 0,2 in will result in
rapid chain stretching, and will lead to fast sprocket wear. An
excessively loose chain can fall off during operation. Loose chain
needs to be tightened . While operating, the chain stretches, and
the distance between chain links changes . If the adjustment
range is not enough, then the chain should be replaced. Do not
shorten the chain by removing one or more links. When cleaning
chain, check the condition of the rubber seals between the
plates. If the seals are damaged, and two tips protrude from the
chain, the chain requires urgent replacement.
