I noticed my chain drive on the snow blower was slack the other day - not utilizing the tension cog pulley. I adjusted it and continued and within few minutes the chain broke. It may have been from ice getting between the chain and cog - who knows.
I replaced the chain with new and fixed the old one for back up. The manual doesn't give any info regard slackness or tension: ie: 1/8 to 1/4" play.
What do you folks recommend?
TIA,

PS: I always grease moving parts prior, during and in between operations.
