Right Hand™ Arm Chain Tension and Gripper
Position
Proper chain tension is essential for smooth operation of the standard or HD Right Hand™ arm on
A
UTOMIZER™ vehicles.
To adjust chain tension and gripper position:
1. Lower the gripper to its lowest position.
2. Measure between the edge of the gripper links on each side and the front of the arm main frame
(see Figure 10-11).
This measurement should be as close as possible to the targeted value shown in the table below
(next page), but more importantly, it should be the same on each side.
