It is important to ensure that the feeder chain has the correct tension. A poorly tensioned
chain leads to increased wear on both the chain and associated components.
When the feeder chain is correctly tensioned it should come into contact with the inner
edge of the lower prism on the feed beam at point (B) when the feeder is aligned in a hori-
zontal position, e.g. tramming position.
