The two auger chains should be snug, but never loose.
Check the drive chain tension regularly, especially if the
augers start to become sluggish. (See Page 5-49 for
slack tension adjustment.)
You can access the auger drive chains under the spray
down tank. The adjustment bolts are directly behind the
spray down shut-off valve.
If the chains need to be tightened, follow this procedure:
1. Loosen the motor bolts on the right and left auger
chains. (Figure 5-10)
2. Loosen jam nuts and turn the tension adjusters
counterclockwise to tighten chains.
3. Once adjusted, retighten motor bolts and jam nuts.
