CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS
(Fig. 8.8)
CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS
To gain access to chains remove the chain case
cover. When correctly adjusted all three
transmission chains should be slightly slack in all
positions. Check to ensure there are no tight spots.
If adjustment is necessary:
Chain A:
Slacken the nut (a) which enables the chain wheel
to be moved either towards or away from the chain
(A) by means of a slot.. When the correct tension
has been achieved re-tighten the nut (a).
Chain B:
Slacken nuts (b) and move the adjuster along its
slots, either towards or away from the chain until the
correct tension has been achieved. Re-tighten nuts
Chain C:
Slacken nut (c). and move the plate behind it along
its slot until the correct tension has been achieved.
Retighten the nut.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Re-check to ensure that there are no tight spots on
any of the chains. Replace chaincase.
8.9
BACK LAPPING THE CUTTING CYLINDER
(Fig.8.9)
The keen cutting edges of the spiral cutters can be
maintained by a process of ‘back lapping’.
1.
Remove chain case cover.
2.
Check the cutting cylinder is set correctly
to the bottom blade (see previous note).
3.
Remove chain 'B' (fig 8.8) and disengage
the cylinder clutch.
4.
Smear some carborundum paste* on the
spiral cutters.
*
Obtainable from most automobile service
stations.
5.
Rotate the cutting cylinder clockwise by using
a socket spanner and brace on the screw (E)
at the L.H. end of the cylinder spindle.
NOTE: During the ‘back lapping’ operation regular
checks should be made on the setting of the cutting
cylinder to the bottom blade and if necessary any
slight adjustments made.
Fig. 8.8
When the cutters have been sharpened satisfactorily
they will cut the paper cleanly along the length of the
bottom blade.
WIPE OFF ALL TRACES OF THE CARBORUNDUM
PASTE.
