ERVICING
1. Remove chain cover plate from the hopper.
2. Check chain slack at the midpoint of the longest span. It should be no more
than 1/4” (6 mm).
Note:
The Hopper has 2 chains, 1 for each flighting.
3. Adjust the chain slack: loosen the 2 bolts of the flighting bearing on the side
that needs adjustment and set the chain slack (see Figure 7.5).
If the chain can’t be tightened enough, remove a link from the chain. If the chain
will not fit with one link removed, add a half link to the chain and replace.
Figure 7.5 Hopper Chain Drive
If the chain can’t be tightened enough, remove a link from the chain. If the chain
