inspection plate.
FREE MOVEMENT OF DRIVELINE
When adjusted properly and operating correctly, the driveline should move freely by hand with no
slack in the chain.
WARNING! Operation of improperly adjusted machine will cause damage to your ditcher
and possibly to your tractor!
WARNING! Do not use your ditcher with a PTO adaptor. The Agricultural Driveline
Manufacturers Association and The Association of Equipment Manufacturers discourage the
use of PTO adaptors due to serious safety and operational concerns.
To check for free movement of driveline and proper tension on chain:
Step 1 – Grasp the front PTO yoke and quickly rock it back and forth. If the PTO moves before the
impeller turns, the chain requires tightening (See Idler Adjustment section below) .
Step 2 – If the impeller is difficult to move, check for debris lodged in the machine. Remove any
interfering debris and return to Step 1. If no interferences are found, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 – Remove the inspection plate on top of the gearbox and carefully inspect bearings, sprockets,
chain, and idler for damage. If damage is found, repair as needed, reinstall inspection plate and return to
Step 1. If no damage is found, continue to Step 4.
Step 4 – Release chain tension until impeller wheel and PTO turn freely (See Idler Adjustment section
below) .
IDLER ADJUSTMENT
Remove the inspection plate on top of the gearbox. Visually inspect the UHMW plastic wear pad
for wear or damage. Replace if needed. The idler adjustment assembly has one (1) bolt and one (1) nut
(See illustration below). The bolt holds the idler assembly against the chain and the nut acts as a jam nut
to lock the assembly in position. Reinstall inspection plate using the rubber gasket under the inspection
plate. Note: If rubber gasket is cracked or torn order a new one from your dealer.
