FOR MODELS: JG AND JGA SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE<br />

iliary end cover to the near faces of the drive sprockets on the crankshaft with a good<br />

machinist rule. Check the driven sprockets in the chain drive system against the measured<br />

dimensions at crankshaft drive sprockets. Adjust the driven sprockets to the drive sprocket<br />

measurements to be aligned within 1/32 inch (1mm).<br />

Adjustment<br />

1. Roll machine to the tightest position of the chain. This prevents snugging up on<br />

the chain at a slack position and breaking rollers or ruining the pump and lubricator<br />

bearings when the chain goes through its tightest position.<br />

2. Remove the two capscrews and eight plugs from the eccentric adjustment cap.<br />

Rotate the cap 6 degrees clockwise facing cap from outside to line up two new<br />

capscrew holes. If this makes the chain too tight, try turning the cap around in a<br />

counterclockwise direction for a different hole lineup.<br />

3. Tighten the two capscrews and roll the machine to check the tightness in a number<br />

of positions. At its tightest position, the chain should be adjusted so that the<br />

deflection of the most accessible span is within the chain deflection limits shown<br />

in Table 5-1. This deflection can be measured from a straight edge held on the<br />

chain wrapped over the two sprockets. The allowable deflection is measured at<br />

the center of the span, while a force of 2 to 10 lb (9 to 45 N) finger pressure is<br />

applied to chain.<br />
