IMPORTANT: After tumbler has been in operation
over an extended period of time, a “HIGH POINT”
will develop on the cylinder drive sprocket from use
and wear. Turn sprocket manually with drive chain
in place until this “high point” is at the top center.
The “high point” can be found by noticing increased
chain tension while slowly rotating the cylinder
sprocket manually. Chain must be at the “high
point” when making the adjustment. Refer to
Figure 53.
