ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Feed Wheel Chain Drive
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 belt 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.
Moving chains will 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.
