rod mechanism being damaged. To join the two
subassemblies securely together, tighten the
screw (Item I). To take apart, proceed in reverse
order.
Joining the drive rod mechanism to the
connecting piece (Fig. 7-10)
Open the handle screw (Item G) and pull out the
locking pin (H) and hold it clockwise and push

the fastening screw (Item P) of the chain wheel
cover by a few turns (Fig. 13). Adjust the chain
tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig.
15/Item M). Turning the screw clockwise
increases the chain tension, turning it
counterclockwise decreases the chain tension.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised
by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar
(Fig. 14).
