Adjusting Clean Grain Elevator Conveyor Chain
Release latch and open lower door.
Loosen four nuts (A). Use nuts (B) to adjust chain. To tighten chain, move bearing carrier downward.
Elevator chain is adjusted properly when lower end of chain can be slid side-to-side on the sprocket but cannot be pulled away from the sprocket. When the chain loosens up to 6 mm (1/4 in.) away from the sprocket, readjust chain. After a period of use, it may be necessary to remove a half link to adjust the chain correctly.
