ADJUSTING CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BLADE AND DRUM
To adjust the clearance between the blade and drum, proceed as follows:
• In the inner part of the base, loosen the screws A by using a 17
hexagonal spanner.
• By using a 27 hexagonal spanner rotate the bushes B which allow the
blade to go up or down thereby varying the clearance with the drum.
• Once the desired clearance is obtained, block the screws A.
IMPORTANT: manually rotate the drum at least once before starting
the machine.
ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION
• Adjust the pressure of the thrust cylinder to the work requirements (recommended pressure 1.5 — 2 bar).
• Toothed belts tensioning with slight clearance between them.
• Calibration of the pressure regulator air intake 6 - 8 bar.
• V-belt tensioning (adjusting the motor tie rods).
