under spring tension. Always wear hand, eye and facial
protection when releasing the centre nut as unprotected
areas of the body can be injured if the spring tension is
released in an unexpected or uncontrolled way.

Installation
1. Fit a new gasket to the tensioner body.
Note:
• If fitting a new tensioner, observe the
following:
• Remove the new tensioner from the
packaging. On examination, it can be seen that
the tensioner nut will not be tightened fully
into the tensioner body and that the tensioner
'nose' (ie., the part which actually contacts the
chain rubbing strip) is fully retracted into the
housing.
• Prior to assembly into the engine it is
necessary to disassemble the tensioner nut,
washer and spring. To do this without
damaging the internal components, turn the
tensioner nut at least a half turn clockwise (i.e.
tighten it further into the housing) until the
plunger springs outwards. The tensioner nut
can then be withdrawn without causing
internal damage to the tensioner components.
2. Set the tensioner plunger onto the first tooth of the
ratchet by manually lifting the tensioner pawl and
pushing the plunger into the tensioner body.
