DRIVE CHAIN 3.3
Checking The Drive Chain
The drive chain must be checked for adjustment after the
first 50 hours of service and every 150 hours thereafter.
Correct chain tension is measured at 1/4 ~ 2 inches (6 to
50 mm) free play.
1 Remove any attachment, raise the boom arms and
engage the boom support pins. Shut off the engine. Raise
the loader securely with tires off the ground.
2 Remove the wheels and inspection cover located
between the axle assemblies. (fig. C2073, C2424).

3 Using a ruler or tape measure, check the chain ten-
sion at the mid point (fig. C2425, C2426) between the
drive motor and axle sprockets. Correct free play should
be 1/4 ~ 2 inches of free play. (6 to 50 mm).
4 If chain tension measures with in specifications,
reseal the inspection cover area with silicone. Be sure to
clean the surface thoroughly before application.
If the chain tension is not with in specification, then
the drive chain must be replaced. Be sure to inspect the
drive sprockets for wear at this time also.
