Within an area of approx. 135° around the chain tensioner only riveted 
connecting elements (chain joints) are allowed to be used. 

 
Drive wheel and wheel 
shaft respectively must 
be aligned in direction of 
motion. 
The chain tensioner 
should be mounted 
opposite of the steering 
pinion. This ensures that 
there is an equal steering 
angle towards both sides.

1.  The centering and supporting face for the chain flange has to be clean. 
2.  Pay attention that no foreign substances or cleaning agents get through the threaded holes (Item 

01) of the mounting construction (hole pattern of the housing) inside the transmission. 

3.  Place the chain flange (Item 02) and rotate it, so that the boltholes in the chain flange are aligned 

with the threaded holes of the mounting construction.  

4.  By means of a plastic tip hammer install the chain flange until contact is obtained.  
5.  Put on the pivoted bogie bearing (Item 03) with the correct side and rotate it so that the boltholes 

in the pivoted bogie bearing are aligned with the hole pattern of the flange and the housing. 

6.  Fasten the pivoted bogie bearing and the chain flange on the mounting construction by means 

hexagon screws M8x40 (Item 04).
