Tensioning the Drive Chain
A jerky product box movement indicates loose chain tension. To adjust the chain, loosen the four
mounting hex nuts holding the motor-reducer unit to the frame. Loosen the jam nut on the chain
tightening bolt and tighten the bolt until the chain is tight. Tighten the jam nut and the four hex nuts.
If there are worn chain links, replace the entire chain. Replace worn sprockets to prevent deformed teeth
from damaging a new chain. Install new chains under slight tension as they elongate a small amount due
to seating of pins and bushings during the first few days of operation.
Lubricating the Drive Chain
Lubricate chain manually with a brush or spout can. Use a good grade of medium weight non-detergent
petroleum base oil. Do not use heavy oil or grease; it is generally too stiff to enter and fill chain joints.
Lubricating the Gear Reducer
Maintain gear reducer oil at the proper level. Remove the oil level plug located on the front of the gear
box to see if the oil is level with the hole. To add oil, remove the plug at the top of the gear box and pour
oil through the hole until the level reaches the oil level hole. Recommended oil is AGMA 7 rated Mobil
