Adjust tension of pickup drive chains as follows:

Straggered packer drive chain (A)

Tighten the idler mounting screw.

Pickup cylinder drive chain (C)

Loosen the idler mounting screw.

Press idler (E) against chain so that chain deflection to the opposite strand of idler is about 11 mm (0.43 in.).

Tighten the idler mounting screw.

Auger drive chains (B) and (G)
