When checking
- At least 3 rotations of the toothed shaft (1) should be visible above the edge of the cassette.
- Press the locking catches to one side.
- Release the catches.

NOTE: The roll-over bar must not move upwards any further when the catches are released.

Checking rollover bar limit position







- Press the catches to one side once again and hold them in that position.
- Pull the roll-over bar upwards by hand until it reaches its limit position (which it may have done already).
- When pulled up by hand it should not move any further. If it does not move noticeably it has reached the limit position.

NOTE: The roll-over bar must reach its limit position.

- If the roll-over bar does not reach its limit position, try again. Press the roll-over bar down and slide the bar.
