GENERAL REMARKS ON MAINTENANCE
Tightening the V-belts:
Tighten the V-belts by using the adjustment holes inside the rotating
handle of the coupling. It should only be necessary to move it to the next hole. Do not over
tighten the belts. This could result in a too great a load on the engine's spindle bearings. The
V-belts are sufficiently tight when they do not slip during the operating cycle.
Tightening the chain (Easy Core 116 only):
Tighten the chain tension by using the holes
inside the engine plate. Do not over tighten the chain. This could result in a too great a load
on the engine's gearbox bearings. The chain is tight enough if it is not slack during the
operating cycle.
Pins:
These are adjustable, but the maximum adjustment course is the thickness of the
adjustment nut, around 6.5 mm (1/4”). The openings of the pins must always be pointed to
the rear of the machine. The pins can be replaced by loosening the adjustment nut and
subsequently loosening the pin. Now mount the new pin with the adjustment nut. Mount the
pin, by as many thread windings as possible, into the pin holder. Now tighten the adjustment
nut against the pin holder.
For the maintenance of the engine, see the supplied manual of the engine.
