Curious to know why it needs shortening. The machine should have an automatic tensioner inside that keep the chain right. I am unaware of any way, or any need, to shorten the chain.
Get on YouTube or a Polaris site to see if all your internal parts are present and functioning correctly.

What would cause the 3900 to run but the tail does not move?

Make sure that the feed hose floats are properly attached and spaced. Make sure that the opening at the end of the sweep hose is not blocked. You might also need to adjust the power to the pool cleaners sweep hose. To adjust the motion, turn off the booster pump and turn the sweep jet clockwise to increase motion.

My Polaris 3900 sweep hose simply drags behind the vacuum. I've adjusted the sweep jet, but it doesn't appear to do anything. I'm also finding that the vacuum is gettin hung up when it gets to a the...

The hose connected on the interior of the polaris could be disconnected. seperate the housing and you will see the hose. Or you need more pressure at the wall. Try closing are reducing the amount of flow to the skimmers to up the flow at the wall connection. Your back up valve should pull the polaris off the steps. Set the rotating jet propulsion on rear to 11: 00 position.
