Servicing Poly Chain® Belt
• Check the Poly Chain® belt tension. See
the chart that follows for tensioning
specifications. If belt tension needs
adjustment, use the jam bolts to move
the cutter wheel to get the proper
tension. Remember to make equal
adjustments to both bearings to keep the
sprockets aligned and the belt running
true.
• NOTE: These instructions are also for
making adjustments to worn belts that
just need the tension adjusted. Cutter
wheel bearing bolts and dust protection
plate bolts have to be loosened to adjust
belt tension. Then the jam bolts and nuts
are used to adjust tension.
• When the belt is properly tensioned and
the sprockets are aligned, tighten the
nuts on the bearing bolts. There are two
nuts on each bolt, make sure all nuts are
tightened. Recheck tension and
alignment to make sure nothing moved
in tightening the cutter wheel bolts. If
tension and alignment are still good,
retighten any loose nuts on the jam bolts.
• Retighten the bolts on the dust protection
plate that is behind the jackshaft
sprocket and attached to the Poly
Chain® belt guard. Make sure the
sections of the plate are pushed as close
together as possible without rubbing the
jackshaft to keep out as much debris as
possible.
