CHAIN MAINTENANCE

The chain is responsible for the movement of the
PTO axis to the endless screw. In order to prolong
its useful life, it is indispensable to keep it properly
adjusted and lubricated. It is recommended a daily
check-up and also the control of the clearance
through the tensioner. Do as indicated below:
1.
Turn off the tractor engine and take the ignition
key off the panel. Wait until all moving parts are
stationary.
2.
Remove the four fixing bolts (A) from the cover
(A).
3.
Remove the cover (A) from the machine.
4.
Loosen the two bolts (C), and shift the tensioner
until you eliminate the excess clearance.
Retighten the bolts (C).
5.
Replace the cover (A).
NOTE
A chain with excess clearance (loose) might get
C
detached from the gears, getting damaged and also
causing damage to the machine.
When it is overstretched, this might compromise
the axis, bearing housings due to premature
exhaustion.
