bushing wear by measuring distance between

To remove chain:

Fasten and adjust seat belt.

2.

Start tractor. See page 76 for proper start-up
procedures.

3.

Move attachment direction/speed control
until digging chain connector pin is on top of boom.

4.

Lower boom to ground.

5.

Engage parking brake and verify parking brake indicator is on.

6.

Turn ignition switch to STOP.

7.

Secure chain by clamping links on either side
of connector pin with chain jaws. Squeeze
jaws to reduce pressure on connector pin.

IMPORTANT: Replace sprockets when a new
chain is installed.
