IMPORTANT: Overtightening of chain may cause premature wear of sprockets and chain.
4.Visually check the amount of adjustment left in the idler. If the adjustment is almost gone then it is time to replace the drive chain and or the sprockets. See “Drive Chain Replacement” and “Sprocket Replacement” below.
Material Control Blade Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The material control blade can be adjusted three ways:
1.The gap between the bottom of the material control blade and the top of the roller can be adjusted by the adjuster bolt (#1). In general a wider gap will allow larger rocks to pass through and will allow the dirt to pass through faster for higher ground speeds. Make sure the gap is the same on both ends of the blade. Normal gap width is around 3/4”.
2.The pitch of the material control blade can be adjusted by loosening the bolt (#2) and bolt (#3) and pivoting the material control blade around the bolt (#3). Normally a line from the top edge of the material control blade to the bottom edge of the material control blade should intersect the center of the roller.
3.The material control blade can be adjusted front to rear by loosening the bolt (#4) and moving the material control blade front to rear in the slot (#5). Normally the dimension “A” should be close to 1 3/4”.
