Chain Tensioning

1. Install chain tensioner loosely assembled.
2. Position guide on double ended stud making sure tab on the guide fits into slot on the gear cover. Install and tighten nut/washer assembly to 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.).





3. Place a shim 1mm (.039 inch) thick X 7Omm (2.75 inch) long between tensioner and chain. Push tensioner and shim up against the chain. Apply firm pressure (5.5 to 6.6 lbs.) directly behind the adjustment slot to take up all slack (chain must have shoe radius contact as shown).
4. With the load applied, tighten top tensioner bolt first, then bottom pivot bolt. Tighten bolts to 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.). Remove shim.
