MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS

Drive Chain Slack

Loosen the bolt securing the adjustment roller so

the roller is free to drop down. The chain should

have approximately 1/2-inch of slack at the location
shown. After adjustment, tighten bolt securely.

Premature chain, roller and sprocket wear will result

if the chain is run without enough slack.

If the chain slack cannot be adjusted with the roller

all the way down, remove the 1/2-link and re-check
slack. Always install a new master link with the
retaining clip positioned as shown.

If proper chain slack cannot be achieved with the
1/2-link removed and the roller all the way down,
replace the chain.
