L5412 side swing chain adjustment

[Walkintall9000]

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the swing chain on a Kubota L5412 backhoe? And will this help take out the slop in the side swing? Thanks for any help.

I take it, it's a 3PH mount and not a frame mount, correct?

It's a 4 point mount

The L5412 backhoe is actually a re-badged Bradco. It has chain swing to move the weight in closer for better bucket down-force out front. Here's an owner's manual - page 27 covers adjustment.

Tightening the ends of the chain should reduce the slop. Air in the cylinder can cause slop too. Slowly move the boom full travel in both directions a few times to flush any air out.
