10.13 Chain adjustments
It is important for the efficient operation of the machine that all drive chains are kept
correctly tensioned. The following is a general guide to chain adjustment.
The sag is measured at the midpoint of the chain between the sprockets. Always
ensure one side of the chain is tight so that the correct reading is obtained. Even though
some drives differ in detail the basic adjustments stay the same.

All roller chain adjustments will require two 19 mm spanners for adjustment, unless
otherwise stated. The following chains will require an inspection for sagging after the
first 500 bales and must be inspected once per 1000 bales after that.
WARNING: Ensure spool control lever is in the “float” position
When baling with the McHale Fusion 3, ensure that the control lever for
the spool operating the pick-up reel height adjustment is in the “float”
position. If the lever is not in the float position, then the reel will be fixed
in a set position and unable to follow the ground contour.
