A - Drum Adjust Nut

B - Spring

X - Spring Length

Set conveyor drum height adjust handles to small grain position.

Tighten nut (A) until spring (B) reachs length (X).

IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten chain to make center strands as tight as outer strands. Center strands normally sag more because of weight of slats and upward force from crop material.

• Check tension on both sides every 100 hours.
• Do not over-tighten chain to make center strands as tight as outer strands. Center strands normally sag more because of weight of slats and upward force from crop material.
• Bent eyebolts indicate excessive chain tension or slug feeding.
• Out-of-round sprockets or drum and bent shafts can cause chain tension to be uneven, too tight, or too loose.
• Shaft and bearing failure are often caused by excessive chain tension.
• When adjusting eyebolt can go no further and chain needs more tensioning, remove a half link.
