Problem with Eumig 610D

Post by Tofek »

Hello,
I've got a problem with my Eumig 610D : the chain inside which supports the entire mechanism is falling from the little reel which is hidden by a piece of metal. It's between the two big reels. It's particularly falling off during rewinding. Anyone could give some advice ?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like the chain is stretched and needs retensioning if possible - I have no idea if that is possible or not - sorry.

The alternative that you can sometime do with cars is to move the pulley wheel to creat more tension on the chain (or belt) -- again don't know if that's possible here either
