!CAUTION

End Plates

Refer to Figure 3-4

End plates (#1) & (#2) are utilized to collect rocks and debris in front of the roller for the purpose of distributing material over low areas. They can be removed and stored on the right hand side of the rake by removing the linch pins (#3) containing the plates and reposition the plates on top side of the right end of the rake as shown below. Secure by reinserting the linch pins (#3).

1.Check chain tension by removing 1/4” x 5/8” hex bolts (#4), lockwashers (#9) and access cover (#2) from the chain case.

2.Inspect chain for tightness and excess wear. Replace worn out chains. See “Sprocket and Drive Chain Replacement” page 19.

3.Tension a loose chain by turning the take-up bolt (#5)

clockwise. Don’t over tension. See note below.

.

NOTE: Do not over tension roller chain. Roller chain should be tightened with a slight amount of slack. A chain tensioned too tight will increase sprocket and chain wear.

4.Turn tension roller several turns and observe the chain to make sure everything is working properly.

5.Apply 1/8” bead of Land Pride No. 821-049C sealant on the surface of the main cover (#1) in location where the access cover (#2) contacts the main cover (#1).

Reinstall access cover (#2) and secure with lockwashers (#9) and 1/4”-20 x 5/8” GR5 hex bolts (#4). Torque hex bolts to correct torque.
