Screw the knee joint and the brake band together
(see figure 5) with a tightening torque of 1-1.5 Nm.
Place the knee joint with the fitted chain brake
band in the opening in the clutch cover. The space
for the spring in the cover must be lubricated with
grease. See figure. 6.

Compress the springs with a wide screwdriver or
special tool 502 50 67-01. See figure 7.
WARNING!
Exercise care to ensure the spring
does not fly out and causes
personal injury. Wear protective
goggles.
3
Fit the cover over the brake spring using 1-1.5 Nm
tightening torque. See figure 8.

guard as a tool. Mesh with the brake and tighten
clockwise until the brake is in the off position.
See figure 9.
