The only adjustments
that should ever have to be
made to the Poultry House
Cleaner is that of conveyor or
drive chains. There are two
different conveyor chains and
two drive chains. From the
front, the first chain is the
cruster reel drive chain, as is
wears and stretches from use,
the idler sprocket should be
adjusted to take up any slack.
Proper tension on the chain
should allow for approximately
one inch of movement in the
side of the chain.
The load conveyor
chain will also need tension-
ing as it wears. To tension
this chain, loosen the bolts
through the base of the upper
shaft bearing, then back off
on the jam nut on the adjust-
ing screw. Next tighten the
adjusting screw to increase
the tension in the chain.
Proper tension of this chain
should allow you to lift the
chain off the conveyor floor
between 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
This adjustment will need to
be made on both sides of the
conveyor. Secure jam nuts
after adjustment is complete.
