Checking the Drive Chain Tension
Park the machine on a level surface, but do not engage the
park brake. Stop the engine and remove the starter key.
Set the forward/reverse lever to Neutral and set the
differential lock to OFF.
Use safe lifting equipment to raise the machine far enough
to block the wheels clear of the ground.
Raise the load bay.
Do the following for both chains:
1 Rotate the rear wheels towards each other to bring all
the chain slack to the top.
2 Position a straight edge across the tops of the two
drive sprockets, then measure the gap 19-X between
the top of the chain (at its lowest point) and the bottom
of the straight edge. The gap should be 20 - 25 mm
(0.75 - 1 in).
Adjust if necessary, (K
