18” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE

• Press against the chain with your hand to

check the chain tension. Chain should

only move in about a 1/2". If the chain

is looser than that, adjust the chain

tension.

• There is an adjustment bolt on the chain

assembly to adjust the chain tension if

necessary.

• Loosen the four bolts (1/2”-13) on the

discharge motor. You will need a

wrench to hold the bolt while you turn

the nut to loosen it. Loosen the four

bolts on the motor just enough to slide

the motor assembly, DO NOT remove

the bolts. (These nuts are security lock

nuts of a special design and need to be

purchased from J. P. Carlton or a Carlton

dealer.)

• Turn the nut on the adjustment bolt

clockwise to tighten the chain by pulling

the motor back away from the machine.

• Only make slight adjustments and

recheck the tension. Repeat procedure

until tension is approximately 1/2". Do

not over tighten the chain, as this will

put more stress on the motor.

• If tension is too tight, turn the nut

counter-clockwise to loosen the chain

tension.

• When the chain is tensioned properly,

retighten the bolts and nuts on the motor.
