Screw the knee joint and the brake band together (see figure 5) using a tightening torque of 1-1.5 Nm. Place the knee joint with the fitted chain brake band in the opening in the clutch cover. The space for the spring in the cover must be lubricated with grease. See figure 6.

Compress the spring with a wide screwdriver and press it down with your thumb. See figure 7.

WARNING!

Exercise care to ensure the spring does not fly out and cause personal injury. Wear protective goggles.
