2.4.18 Engine casing (7:U)

the casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.

The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and

juries.
2.4.19Quick-release mounting (34:H)
The quick-release mountings allow the
deck to be moved easily between the two
positions:
•Normal position with fully tensioned
belt.
4 cm behind the normal position with slackened
belt.
As the belt idler is released from the belt, the
quick-release mountings simplify belt and deck re-
placement, and also make shifting to the washing
position and service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (34:G) from both
sides.
2. Press down the rear section of the quick-release
mountings (34:F) with the lug.
3. Carry out necessary corrective action, e.g. set-
ting the deck to the washing position.
Tensioning the belt:
First tension one side and then the other according
to the instructions below.
Use protective gloves when handling the
lever. Risk of crushing injuries.
1. Firmly grasp the lever (35:J) in front of the cen-
tre of the shaft and carefully turn 180° forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (34:G).
3. Carry out the above on the other side.
