Maintenance Procedures
Storage Conveyor Chain Tension - Check/Adjust
1. Start engine and run 2-3 minutes. Open storage hopper cleanout doors and storage conveyor
cleanout door. Refer to
"Storage Hopper Cleanout", page 3-51, and "Storage Conveyor
Cleanout", page 3-53.
2. Run storage conveyor chain for 2-3 minutes.
3. Run chain forward until a chain slat is just off edge of floor plate as shown in detail view A.
4. Bump chain forward/reverse until chain sag is no longer increasing. The final chain bump must
be in reverse for maximum chain sag to occur. Do not allow a chain slat to ride up onto floor
plate.
5. Turn engine off and remove ignition key.
6. At midpoint of cleanout door, measure chain sag from bottom of frame flange to bottom of slat as
shown in detail view B. Measure both sides of chain to ensure chain sag is even from side to side,
+/- 1/4" (6 mm).
7. Adjust chain tension if chain sag is out of range, or if chain sags unevenly from side to side. Refer
to
"Storage Conveyor Chain - Adjust Tension/Uneven Sag", page 5-20. Contact a Weiler
dealer if chain sag remains out of range or uneven.
8. Check chain for wear. Refer to
"Chain Checklist", page 5-22. Contact a Weiler dealer if chain
shows significant wear or stretch.
