Feeder Chains
The feeder chains pick up material and dump it onto the
discharge conveyor belt. (Figure 4-2)
The feeder chain lever is located on the left side of the
operator’s station and controls the speed of the feeder
chain. Pushing the feeder chain lever to neutral slows
and stops the feeder chain. Pushing it forward reverses
the feeder chain. (Page 3-6)
The two chains for the feeder assembly must be
adjusted to provide one inch of “play” for proper
operation.
Perform this adjustment as follows:
1. Check the amount of play in the chains by pulling
up on the center of the chain and check for
approximately one inch of play. If the play is correct,
no adjustment is required. If the chain has too much
slack, proceed with Step 2.
