PARTS REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
• Loosen the nuts on the pillow block bearing housing.
• Loosen the bearing adjustment set screw until the chain tension level
is relieved to a point where the master link may be disconnected.
3. Remove the master link.
4. Using the old master link, connect the new chain assembly to the lower
half of the old chain assembly.
5. Remove the nut from the step shaft above the master link. It may be
necessary to place another 5/16"-18 nut on the opposite end of the step
shaft to gain leverage and remove the nut.
6. Remove the bearing, the outer step shaft washer and the modified link of
the old step chain assembly from the step shaft.
7. Place the modified link of the new step chain assembly on the step shaft.
Reinstall the outer step shaft washer, bearing and nut.
8. Rotate the steps until the next step shaft is in approximately the same
place as the previous step shaft.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the new chain assembly is installed on the
remaining step shafts.
10. Remove the master link connecting the old chain with the new chain.
11. Connect the new chain assembly together with the master link. Tighten
the bearing adjustment set screw until the same number of threads as in
step 2 are exposed. Tighten the nuts on the pillow block bearing housing.
12. You should consider replacing the opposite step chain so that both chains
will wear equally.
13. Reassemble the machine in reverse order.
