2. Hold a collection container under the hose of the
petrol extraction pump (not included in the scope
of delivery).
3. Unscrew and remove the tank cover (20).
4. Remove the fuel filter insert.
5. Push the hose of the petrol extraction pump into
the fuel tank and pump out the petrol completely
using the petrol extraction pump.
6. Reinsert the fuel filter insert.
7. Retighten the tank cover (20).
14.9 Tensioning the chain ( fig. 5)
The chains tend to slacken during operation. When
operating with loose chains, these tend to slip over
the drive wheel, whereby these jump into their hous-
ing or work in a precarious state resulting in wear on
the housing.
Proceed as follows to check the tension on the
chains.
1. Always place the machine on a level surface with
a compacted base, preferably on asphalt or flag-
stones.
2. Lift the machine up and support it on blocks or
stands with a suitable bearing capacity for the
weight of the machine so that the chains are
around 100 mm above the ground.
3. Measure the chain's centre line compared to the
horizontal line. The value must not deviate by
more than 10 - 15 mm.
Proceed as follows if the value is higher.
1. Use the tilt lever to tilt the transport tray and sup-
port it on blocks or stands with a suitable bearing
capacity for the weight of the transport tray.
2. Undo counternut A.
3. Tighten screw B until the correct tension is
reached.
4. Secure screw B by tightening counternut A.
5. Return the transport tray to its original position.
m Adjusting the chains and the brakes is linked
so therefore proceed with caution as tensioning
the chains too much loses the braking effect com-
pletely.
m If the set screw does not allow any further ad-
justments, the chains may have to be replaced.

14.10 Replacing the chains (Fig. 6)
Check the condition of the chains at regular intervals.
If a chain is cracked or frayed, it must be replaced as
soon as possible.
1. Loosen the chains (see 14.9.).
2. Replace the chains as shown in the illustration.
3. Correctly tension the chains (see 14.9.).
m When removing or installing chains, ensure that
your fingers do not get caught between the belt
and the pulley.
