Adjusting Traction Drive
Chains
Check Drive Chain Tension. Drive chains should
have about 1–1/2 to 2–1/2 inches of slack at the
bottom. Chain tensioner is at front of machine
(Fig. 16).

IMPORTANT: Always tension both chains
equally to maintain front end alignment. Under
some sandy conditions, the sand can build up on
the sprockets as little shells. This enlarges the
size of the sprocket and the chain tightens.
Under these conditions run the chains
considerably looser.
