Pour a light stream of heavy oil ontoelevator chain before running elevator. Oil will reduce friction, quiet elevator and greatly extend chain life. Run emptyelevator for thirty minutes after final assembly. Because bolts do have a tendency to loosen and chains tend to flex afterinitial use, this will give you time to make the break-in adjustments and check that elevator functions properly before youstart making hay. Check and tighten any loose bolts. Elevator chain will loosen after use and should be readjusted in thefollowing order:1. Loosen chain tightener and remove extra links from conveyor chain.2. Connect and retighten conveyor chain until snug.Important — first remove extra chain links before using chain tightener.
