Prerequisites

You need the following tools to remove the shaft extension:

oSet of hex keys

oSoft-faced hammer

NOTE: Do not use ball head hex keys. Excessive torque may cause the ball head to break away. A broken ball head makes the removal of the screw difficult.

For suitable parts, refer to Replacement Equipment and Accessories.

NOTE: As long as the toothed belt is installed correctly and the carriage is at the end position, the toothed belt pulley does not rotate further. For detailed information about toothed belt installation, refer to Mounting the Toothed Belt.

2

Carefully tap on the screw head with a soft-faced hammer so that the cone of the shaft extension comes loose.

NOTE:  If you cannot reach the screw head, use a hex key as extension and tap carefully on the hex key.

3

Pull the shaft extension carefully out of the hollow shaft of the toothed belt pulley (3).
