Feeder House Conveyor Chain-Adjusting
Remove feeder house shields on both sides.
Tighten nut (A) on both sides of feeder house until washer (B) is positioned between end of gauge (C) and bottom of step.
-
Check tension on both sides every 100 hours. Adjust when washer is at end of gauge.
-
Out-of-round sprockets or drum and bent shafts can cause chain tension to be uneven, too tight, or too loose.
-
Excessive chain tension causes shaft and bearing failures.
-
When adjusting eyebolt can go no further and chain needs more tensioning, remove a half link.
