MAINTENANCE

AUTO-DRIVE

The Auto-Drive friction plates and drive pulleys are factory set for travel required along a keyed shaft and this should not need adjusting.

If during operation it is found that the relationship between forward and reverse has become unbalanced adjust as follow:-

1.Loosen Locknut (A) Fig. 22

2.Centralise engagement lever with the friction plates between the drive pulleys.

3.Re-tighten locknut (A). Fig. 22

DRIVE SELECTOR PEDAL

The pedal angle can be tilted either forward or back to suit individual requirements if necessary.

1.Loosen locknuts (A) on control rod. Fig. 24

2.Tilt control pedal to required angle to give maximum operator comfort.

3.Re-tighten locknuts.

Fig. 22

DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

Primary

1.Loosen off bolt ‘A’ Fig. 23

2.Slide idler back till chain tightens.

3.Re-tighten bolt ‘A’ and check chain for tight spots.

Secondary

1.Loosen off bolt ‘B’ Fig. 23

2.Slide sprocket back till chain tightens.

3.Re-tighten bolt ‘B’ and check chain for tight spots.

CAUTION

Do not over-tension belts or drive chains.

AUTO BELT TENSIONER

The continuous drive belt is kept under constant tension by the Auto-Belt tensioner. This is set up initially at the factory and should not need attention unless the drive belt has stretched past its serviceable use, indicated when the spring finger is engaged in red area on the rack assembly.

TO REMOVE OLD BELT

1.Loosen the two nuts (A) securing the spring plate. Fig. 25

2.Remove the top bolt (B) from the spring plate while holding the spring plate and slowly release the tension on the spring and disengage the spring finger from rack assembly by pressing outwards. Fig. 25

3.Remove old belt from around pulleys and discard.

53179 specifications

Rover 53179 is an innovative rover designed for exploratory missions on distant planets, particularly in the challenging environments of Mars and the Moon. This advanced robotic vehicle showcases a variety of features, technologies, and characteristics that enable it to efficiently navigate and gather valuable data from extraterrestrial terrains.

One of the standout features of Rover 53179 is its robust mobility system. Equipped with six articulated wheels, the rover is designed to traverse a variety of surfaces, including rocky landscapes, sandy dunes, and steep inclines. The wheels are made of a lightweight yet durable composite material that provides both traction and flexibility, allowing the rover to maintain stability across uneven terrain.

The rover's power system is another key aspect of its design. It utilizes a combination of solar panels and advanced battery technology to ensure a continuous energy supply during day and night cycles. The solar panels are strategically placed to maximize sunlight absorption, while the batteries are optimized for quick charging and exceptional longevity, enabling prolonged operational periods during missions.

Rover 53179 is outfitted with an array of scientific instruments that facilitate data collection and analysis. This includes a high-resolution camera system capable of capturing 3D images and video, a spectrometer for analyzing soil and rock composition, and environmental sensors designed to monitor temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. These instruments work in concert to provide crucial information that enhances our understanding of celestial bodies.

In terms of communication, the rover is equipped with a state-of-the-art communication system that allows for real-time data transmission back to mission control on Earth. It leverages both radio frequency and laser techniques to ensure reliable connectivity over vast distances, even in challenging environments.

Moreover, Rover 53179 incorporates advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to support autonomous navigation. This technology enables the rover to make independent decisions based on real-time data, thus optimizing its path and ensuring efficient exploration without constant oversight from Earth.

Rover 53179 exemplifies the pinnacle of modern robotics and space exploration technology. Its combination of robust mobility, advanced scientific capabilities, reliable power systems, and autonomous navigation positions it as a vital tool for uncovering the mysteries of our solar system. As we continue to explore the cosmos, rovers like 53179 will play an essential role in paving the way for future discoveries.
