CAUTION
Stop engine, remove key and set parking
brake before attempting to adjust the rear
chain.
REAR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT:
Proper tension for the rear chains is accomplished
through the use of an adjuster located at mid-point of
each rear chain.
To adjust, tighten the nut on top of the rubber spring
until the chain has approximately 1/4” movement up and
down when measured at mid-point. Refer to Illustration
B, page 41.
NOTE: Adjust rear drive chains after first 10 hours of
use and every 40 hours thereafter.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CHAIN!
Maintenance:
Periodically remove any build-up of grass, mud or
other debris from both the spring loaded roller and the
upper guide rod. The use of a high quality chain lubri-
cant is recommended.
