on the crank height adjustment. is that done with a cable or a chain, and if so is this exposed to heat if it is a cable

Neither cable or chain. It is a screw method. As you turn the handle, the screw action raises the tray. I don't think the heat from the coals would impact the screw mechanism. This grill is built to last. I'm glad I bought it.

You can adjust the chain but it is hard wired so u can't plug it into a wall socket. Hope this helps

Straight forward adjustment. Loosen retaining nuts on cover. Use screwdriver or supplied tool to add or reduce chain tension. Re-secure nuts on cover .

I read up on the install for mine and was told that in order to keep the right alignment it should be in the inside of the crankset. Different bikes may line up differently, the important thing is the chain line. Make sure you are as close to center as possible on the casset. You may have to use spacers for the bottom bracket but I either way I think it mounts to the inside of the crankset. I am running a MRP chain guide with mine and it would not fit had I installed it on the outside. Good luck!

Changing the chain is similar to any other two nut chainsaw, there is a crank handle instead of two lock nuts. Loosen the crank and remove it. Then loosen the chain tension a bit, and wiggle the cover off. Slide the bar in and remove it, the chain can now be removed. Putting the saw back together is easy as well, the chain brake and chain tension system are inside the metal side cover which is very easy to clean. The tool free chain tension works great, but rarely need to adjust it, so I guess never needing to adjust the chain I really didn't the tool free option of the e series. But do like it.

I had the same problem and here is how I solved it. I removed the plastic, tie, holding the wire and electrical cable together. Careful you do not cut the electrical cable. This allowed me to loosen the nut locking the bracket on #11 wire cable. I was able to turn the bracket lower toward the base end #1. This gave me additional slack to slide the upper wire cable end into the aforementioned, slotted, bracket. This minor adjustment may change the tension slightly, causing a change in the Tension Control Knob. I just started using the bike, and have only used #1 and #2 settings, but it did not, too me, seem to throw the tension off much. I doubt I will ever use the #8 setting.

You can adjust the chain. So just about any height. You're going to love it! : )

You can set the drag with the nut on the side (where the manual crank handle goes). I would imagine this would be very frustrating to do with a live load hanging from one end. One slight move and the battery is crashing down full speed. Never had a heavy load hanging from it to test this theory though - it's just a guess based on pulling the cable out by hand.

It says in the picture: English thread, 68mm(what the other guy quoted was his axle length that he bought to go along with it, and that needs to be selected according to the crankset you are getting, for proper chainring clearance and straight chainline)

Yeah , but will need to adjust chain length . Recommend new chain/master link ( wallyworld sells a good cheap set)Adjust length so that there's two extra links ( counting the master;)) when chain's around the biggest sprockets .Good luck

If you are referring to the base as the part that attaches to the bike the answer would be no. The adjustment is from the foot (the part that touches the ground) with a set screw. Seems to be pretty sturdy construction. After I had it adjusted I put a drop of Lock Tight thread sealer on the set screw to keep it from working loose.

We adjusted the height on ours with a simple hacksaw. Worked fine and the ladder is very useful. There were directions on exactly how and where to cut it to shorten it.

if you have the old style or AMERICAN style, that is NOT threaded inside the frame, punch out the races and use the TRUVATIV BB conversion! YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY YOU DID! There are a TON of videos on how to do this, check out bikeman (I think that is his youtube handle) and you wont be let down! JUST MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE DRIVE SIDE PROPERLY AND LINE UP THE CONVERSION BEFORE YOU SEAT IT INTO THE FRAME! The screws to the conversion will pull it TIGHT but make sure it is in far enough to not strip the screws or adapter! THIS BB is one of the best values in the industry! I dont recommend any UNDER this model, even though they are VERY RELIABLE. THIS is a small price to pay and while you are there, I recommend an upgrade to your crank set to bring you an upgrade that will breath life into that nice HARDROCK! IF YOUR FRAME IS ALREADY THREADED, no worries, this should work!

I would contact the nearest authorized service dealer. The height adjustment is one of the few things that didn't break on my two mowers.

Hi Matt, I do not understand your question. I bought this crankset for an electric bike project. The previous crankset was geared to low.

A heavy chain works very nicely. I was on mine yesterday adjusting tension on both ends by just hooking into a closer link, evenly on both .dided

mine is medium and high, but it will vary depending on the size of the front chainring and rear cog
