  1. Remove cotter pin (13) from adjusting rod (14). Remove the adjusting rod from takeup shaft (12) and takeup shaft (15) .

  1. Alternately adjust takeup shaft (12) and takeup shaft (15) until the sag in the drag conveyor chain is removed. Use adjusting rod (14) in order to turn the takeup shafts counterclockwise until the chain is tight.

    Note: Takeup shaft (12) and takeup shaft (15) must be tightened equally.

    Note: When the chain is under the correct tension, the bottom of the chain at any point will be level with the bottom edge of the machine frame.

  1. Replace adjusting rod (14). Install cotter pin (13) .

  1. Lower the apron.
