ADJUSTING THE CONVEYOR CHAIN TENSION
#1 Open the side door, turning the latch counterclockwise to reveal the Conveyor.
#2 Check Conveyor tension by pulling the chain back and forth.
#3 There should be a maximum of 1.5 inches back and forth – tightening is required if the chain is looser.
#4 To tighten, looen the jam nut. Allow enough room for take-up bolt to be tightened.
#5 Tighten the take-up bolt with a socket wrench.
#6 Check the belt tension – tighten more if necessary.
#7 Repeat the process on the other side of the Surf Rake.
