PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-200 unless safety
guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met!
AUGER DRIVE CHAIN
Over time, the stainless steel drive chain may stretch; it is recommended that the drive chain
tension be checked after every few months. A loose chain can skip or bind and can cause damage to the
stainless steel sprockets. Also a chain that is too elongated will not mesh properly with the sprockets and
should be replaced. A chain that is over tightened may stretch and cause premature chain failure and
sprocket wear.
Checking / Adjusting the Drive Chain Tension
1. Use a 5/32” hex key wrench to loosen two screws located at the top of the motor/chain guard.
Do not remove the screws. (pic 1)
2. Gently tilt the unit forward and remove third screw located at the bottom of the guard. (pic 2)
3. Remove the chain guard to reveal drive chain. (pic 3)
4. Apply pressure to mid-span point. Movement should not be more than 3/32”. (pic 4)
5. If tension adjustment is necessary, loosen the two upper hex screws on the motor mounting
plate.(pic 5)
6. Locate the drive chain adjustment screw at the very top of the motor mounting plate. (pic 6)
