Moving chains can cause serious injury or death. Do not
operate without the guards in place. Do not attempt to
touch, check, clean, or adjust the chain during operation.
Function
The feed wheel chain provides power to the top feed wheel. The chain
drive consists of the chain, two sprockets, two bushings, hydraulic motor,
and the chain guard.
Use
The feed wheel chain drive is housed inside the chain guard. Never
remove the chain guard unless you are changing, servicing, or cleaning
the components inside the guard. To remove the chain guard, loosen and
remove the bolts and washers on the sides of the guard. Lift the guard
off the machine. Always replace the chain guard and secure with the
bolts and washers after the work is completed.
To get top performance from the chain drive, it is important that the
chain has the proper tension. When adjusting the tension, you need to
increase the distance between the two sprockets by manually pulling on
the hydraulic motor.
Maintenance
• Inspect sprockets for wear or damage when replacing the chain
