Replacing Drive Chain on Double Reel
The drive chain allows the hydraulic reel drive motor to turn the reel. It can be replaced if damaged or worn.
There are two methods for replacing the reel drive chain. Proceed to the procedure that is most appropriate for your
circumstances:
• Method 1: Replacing Drive Chain – Disconnecting Reel Drive Method, page 209
• Method 2: Replacing Drive Chain – Breaking Chain Method, page 213
NOTE:
Method 1 is preferred because chain integrity is not affected.
