• To clean the chain, use a grease solvent cleaner (e.g. NOVATIO KLEENSPRAY-S) to inject the
chain.
• Allow the cleaner to work in for 1 minute so that the grease adhering to the chain will soak off.
• Wipe away the old lubricant from the chain with a rag. Together with the old lubricant, all ad-
hering dirt must be wiped off.
• Repeat this several times until all the old lubricant has been completely removed and the chain is
clean again.
• If the chain is clean, new lubricant can be applied.
• Spray with adhesive chain spray. (recommended: NOVATIO CLEAR LUBE-S)
• Make sure that the lubricant reaches all parts of the chain.
• Roll the machine so that the chain starts to move and each part can be lubricated.
Caution: When cleaning or lubricating the chain, make sure that the product
does not end up on the belts or belt pulleys. This will cause belts to slip, which
can lead to increased wear and tear and drive problems.
• After lubricating the chain, replace the protective covers.
(read § 15.1; page 56)
11.5.8. Tightening the chains
Caution: Chain tightening must be done with the engine switched off. Remove
the spark plug cover as a precaution.
Caution: Always wear suitable clothing for performing this type of maintenance.
There is one chain on the machine that transfers the drive from the transmission box to the rol-
ler of the machine.
• To reach the chain transmission, the large protective cover will have to be removed.
(read § 15.1; page 56)
• The chain is subject to loss of elasticity after time and it will start to hang loose, with a risk of
jumping off the gear under heavy strain. If you notice that the chain is loose when performing
maintenance, it must be tightened.
• To tighten the chain, a small sprocket is provided with an adjustable holder.
• To adjust this chain tensioner, loosen the attachment bolt (M8) one turn (anti-clockwise - span-
ner size 13).
• Now slide the holder to the left so that the sprocket is pushed deeper into the chain.
• The chain should not be too tight. The chain must be able to move back and forth easily by 5
mm without much effort.
• Then tighten the attachment bolts firmly so that the chain tensioner does not come loose while
driving. (clockwise - spanner size 13)
