9.17.2 Lower drive chain adjustment
To adjust the chain, the use of two 24 mm spanners is required.
Slacken the nyloc nut, whilst holding lock nut (B), then adjust lock nut (B) until
compression of spring (C) has reached the same length as spring guide (A). Spring
guide (A) is an indicator only and always inspect chain tension after adjustment, as
greater spring compression may be required, due to chain wear, chain damage, etc.
Tighten nyloc nut securely against the lock nut (B).
9.17.3 Pick-up reel tine chain adjustment
To adjust the tine reel chain, the use of a 17 mm spanner and socket is required.
1. Loosen (A) and turn tine sprocket (D) anti-clockwise, as shown below.
2. Apply upward pressure (along slot B) to nylon chain slide (C), while continuing
to hold sprocket (D) in position.
3. Tighten (A) and ensure that sagging is kept to a minimum.
