Assembly of the chain
Before assembling the chain, ensure that the alignment of the shafts has been carried out correctly
and that subsequent amendments have not occurred.
Dismantle the joining handle and wrap the chain on to the teethed wheels, so that the two ends slot
in the tooth bottom of one of the pinions.
When replacing a worn chain with a new one, ensure that the profi le of the teeth of the pinions is not
worn. We recommend not assembling new handles in a signifi cantly worn chain. In fact, the chain
step would no longer be even and the transmission would function at jerks.
Insert the two pins of the joint handle in the two free holes of the two opposite internal handles.
Assemble the external plate of the joint handle and fi x it using the relative clip.
After having assembled the clip, slightly strike the pins of the joint handle using a hammer, so that
the clip perfectly adheres against the plate of the joint handle.
The following results are obtained with this operation:
1. The re-balancing of the clearances between external and internal plates is assured, enabling the
lubricant to enter between the two plates.
2. A correct assembly of the joint handle assures a good functioning of the chain, reducing the
possibility of jig.
3. Maximum duration of the clip is assured.
If possible, it is best to avoid the use of the false handle.
