Figure 5.78: Auger Drive
14. Rotate auger (A) by hand, in forward direction, until it
cannot turn anymore.
15. Measure the distance between the two lines (B).
For a new chain:
• If the difference (B) is 1–4 mm (0.04–0.16 in.), no
more adjustment is required.
• If the difference (B) is greater than 4 mm (0.16 in.),
repeat Steps 7, page 367 to 11, page 367.
For a used chain:
• If the difference (B) is 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in.), no
more adjustment is required.
• If the difference (B) is greater than 8 mm (0.31 in.),
repeat Steps 7, page 367 to 11, page 367.
