Worm and pick-up drive chain

Chain tensioning of the worm and pick-up drive chain is effected
by a silentbloc chain tensioner and two tensioning blocks (fig.
102).
After loosening of the screw on the square block the silentbloc
must be turned to the effect that the arrow reaches 15° on the
scale. Then retighten the screw.
After loosening the screw connection, tension the tensioning
blocks (one each on the left and on the right machine side) so
far that the upper strand of the chain (above the tensioning
block) can still be depressed by about 10 mm.
