Setting the track roller pretension
The roller bearings must be set using the eccentric screws so that the displace-
ment resistance for the slide is as low as possible and it can move without
backlash.
Note
The track roller pretension is set with the two inner track rollers via eccentric
screws. It requires a high degree of mechanical awareness.
The pretension is set without the toothed belt attached.
• Unscrew the hex nuts of the eccentric screws and apply Loctite 243 to them.
• Replace the hex nuts on the eccentric screws, but do not tighten them yet.
