Selecting the right option
Choose the model by chain size and number of strands. The sprocket pitch must match your chain. The catalogue lists the heavy tension box as the standard setting and a light tension box, ET-SNUL, as an option. See the Easy-Ten ET-SNUL Type S light tension box.
Fitting and use
Fit the tensioner on the slack side of the chain with the sprocket meshing with the chain. Check the chain tension and the sprocket teeth at regular maintenance intervals.
Dimensions F, E and H are as listed in the catalogue. Contact AIMS if you need them confirmed for your installation.
