However if the belt should be readjusted caused for example by 

remedy  works  carried  out  on  the  machine,  follow  the  process 

described below:  

 

Tensioning of the belt may be adjusted by means of tensioning 

nuts located at end of soil hopper. It is important that both sides 

of the belt are tensioned by the same force.   

 

Beyond the above care shall be taken on grooves of driving and 

guiding  drum  not  to  be  filled  up  with  soil.  Regularly  clean  the 

grooves when it occurs.
