Remove the screws securing the right side shield to the frame and lift off the side shield. 3. Check the chain for proper tightness. The chain should-not move up and down more than 1/4". 4. If the chain is properly adjusted, reattach the side shield and pedal assembly. If the chain is not properly adjusted, remove the screws securing the fan shield and lift off the fan shield. 5. Loosen the axle nuts on the ends of the fan axle. To tighten the chain, turn the adjustment nut on the front end of the frame clockwise. To loosen the chain, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise.
