5) Then, turning the flywheel counterclockwise (Fig. 7.7), bring the carriage into the position so that
the front spurs (ref. C, Fig. 7.7) are approximately 0 to 10 mm from the needle tips positioned
previously.
6) With the needles and the carriage thus positioned, connect the chain 1 (Fig. 7.7) without moving
the gears 7 and 3 from the position in which they are found; pull the chain tensioner 2 (Fig. 7.7)
checking that there is no movement between the gears.
When the sequence of operations A and B has been performed, the machine has been fully timed and
is in phase.
ATTENTION!
The checking of the timing is facilitated by the presence of colored reference punches on the
stationary and moving parts. When the timing of the machine is correct, these punches must match.
To eliminate going out of phase due to the slackening of the chains, always keep the main chains
under tension using the tensioners (ref. 8-2, Fig. 7.7) and lubricating as specified. When it slackens,
the chain becomes longer and could even fall off the gear teeth. In either case this situation could
cause the machine to be out of phase.
ATTENTION!
If it was necessary to disassemble the entire knotter, before doing the timing it is advisable to
assemble the knotter, respecting the positions between gears 9 and 10 as shown in Fig. 7.7 (the O
marked on gear 10 must be placed between the two O
’s
marked on gear 9).
