Correct adjustment of the cross apron chain occurs when 12" of chain, APRON SLAT does not touch the BOTTOM PAN of the cross apron return area at the dis- charge opening. To tighten the chain, loosen the two bolts securing the slotted bearing bracket at each side of the discharge opening. Tighten the chain by tightening the nut on the adjuster bolt. Adjust both sides equally. Retighten the bearing bracket bolts.

MAIN APRON CHAINS

After unloading the first ten loads from the front and also af- ter unloading the first ten loads from the rear check the main apron chain tension. After initial adjustment check chain tension daily for the next five days of operation. Initial wear in of chain will require adjustment to maintain proper chain tension. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CHAIN TEN- SION MAY VOID WARRANTY. Removable master links are included in each of the four strands for tightening after tightener travel is at its maximum. Remove a link from each of the four strands at the same time to assure proper timing.

The main aprons are each independently tensioned by an anchoring, adjustable bolt and pivoting arm tightener system.

PRIOR TO 08 SERIAL NUMBERS-To tighten the main aprons, tighten down the anchoring eye bolts centrally located at each side of the forage box on the steel 10” stringers.

08 SERIAL NUMBERS AND LATER-To tighten the main aprons, tighten the tensioner rod on the spring loaded tensioner centrally located at each side of the for- age box on the steel 10” stringers. Tighten the spring to a 5” compressed length.

In addition to tightening the anchoring eye bolts, there is located on the inner chain strands of each apron assem- bly a fine adjustment bolt on the pivoting arm tightener. Adjust as needed to equalize stretch in chain strand pairs of each independent apron assembly. See page 26.
