DIGGING CHAIN INSTALLATION
1. Slide the digging chain under the sprocket, with teeth in the correct cutting direction. Properly
installed, the cutting edges of the chain will face forward on the top of the boom and rearward
on the bottom of the boom (see diagram below).
2. Start the engine. Push digging boom control lever forward to lower boom onto the chain.
Shut off the engine.
3. Wrap the chain around boom and sprocket. Install chain master link or link pin.
4. Use the boom adjuster screw to tighten the chain. The chain should have enough slack to allow
approximately 2" of space between middle of boom and chain when the boom and chain are
straight out in a horizontal position.
5. Tighten adjuster screw locknut and 4 boom mounting bolts.
