6. MECHANISM'S ADJUSTMENT

All the mechanisms are adjusted and tested in the producer's plant. After a
prolonged exploitation, some of the mechanisms have to be readjusted
because of the wearing off of the friction surfaces. The adjustment and setting
of the different mechanisms shall be effected after each machine repair too.
It is recommended these adjustments to be performed by qualified specialists
in respective service.
