Chain Tension
The seed meter drive has a spring-loaded idler which
requires no adjusting. However, chain stretch may make
it necessary to shorten the chain.
For best chain tension the recommended vertical
distance between chain idlers should be not less than
1
4
inch and not more than
1
2
inch. This measurement
should be taken with opener arms horizontal
.
Refer to Figure 146 and Figure 147
The front idler
should be below the rear idler
. Be
sure chain is installed with the chain connector link
retainer towards the centerline of the opener and the clip
opening (split end)
faces the opposite way of the chain
travel.
