Chain Tension
The seed meter drive has a spring-loaded idler
which requires no adjusting. However, chain
stretch may make it necessary to shorten the
chain.
Refer to Figure 65
For best chain tension the recommended vertical
distance between chain idlers should be not less
than 1/4 inch and not more than 3/4 inch. This
measurement should be taken with opener arms
horizontal.
Refer to Figure 66
NOTE: The front idler should be below the rear
idler. Be sure chain is installed with the chain con-
nector link retainer towards the centerline of the
opener and the clip opening (split end) faces the
opposite way of the chain travel.
