The Chain Tensioner Shim (340001) maintains proper chain tension in your Southern Pride smoker, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature wear on chain components. This essential shim is compatible with the SPX-300, SPK-500, SP-700, SPK-1000, and MLR-850 models.
When to Replace: Inspect your chain tensioner shim regularly during routine maintenance. Replace it if you notice chain slippage, excessive noise, or visible wear and damage to the shim itself.
Installation: This is a straightforward replacement suitable for most users with basic mechanical knowledge. You'll need standard hand tools. If you're uncomfortable working with chain assemblies, we recommend professional installation to ensure proper tension and alignment.
