Bredal F4 - Downshute Shield Adjustment; Adjusting the Shield for Centring; Reassembling Downshutes After Adjustment

56
Aer the adjustment, reassemble the downshutes. These should rotate easily when
the centre screw is tightened. Once they rotate with proper ease, tighten the lock nut.
Remember to correctly position both the centring disc and the large washer.
Reattach the cone over the centre of the disc and reattach the downshutes and actuator.
Now check/adjust the basic setting of downshute scale.
Loosen all four of the screws holding the rearmost section of the shield in place, and
loosen the three screws holding the rearmost and front part of the shield together.
Now the rearmost shield section can be shied both sideways and lengthwise. Move
the shield until the centre of the downshutes is precisely centred over the centre of the
discs. Be meticulous: the better the downshutes are adjusted, the better the spreading
pattern that can be subsequently achieved. When the shield is adjusted, tighten the
screws holding the shield attached to the frame rst and then retighten the front and
rear shield sections together.
