Note: It is recommended you use a thread locking compound that meets or exceeds
Loctite Blue© on all set screws.
Important: To prevent premature failure of the lower bearing, ensure it has been assembled
in the correct sequence.
2. Loop the drive chain around upper and lower sprockets. Push the flighting
shaft down until the chain is tensioned to within about 1/4” deflection, then
tighten the 4 bolts on the bottom bearing. Oil the chain lightly.
Note: For ease of PTO installation, sprocket shield should be attached after the instal-
lation of the PTO driveline. See “Connecting the PTO Driveline” on page 72.
