ADLER 205/370 REVERSE PARTS

[Diyer]

My new toy, the Adler 205/370 with Efka variostop is now in my living room. I am taking the main parts off, as the table needs modifying.It was not quite up to the travelling.

Also I will not be using the Variostop and pneumatic stuff. I have taken off the Camozzi air operating cylinders for reverse and foot lift.

The reverse lever now does not stay in place.

The parts book shows a detent ball and spring thing for the zero or neutral position.

I cannot see anything else in the parts book that is used to keep the reverse lever up. Is friction between the plastic block on the lever and the plastic faceplate supposed to do the job?

Or what parts am I missing?

The Durkopp Adler 205-370 Service Manual (I only have the German version: Service -Manual.pdf) describes how the reverse lever mechanism has different friction settings, depending on whether pneumatic actuators are installed or not. Without pneumatics, screw "r" needs to be screwed all the way in, and screw "o" needs to be tightened to adjust the friction of the lever movement.

Thanks Uwe. In my situation the screw r is missing, but a 6mm bolt appropriately filed works fine. Also your manual has better illustrations than the other one I downloaded. There is a multilanguage one available withe the same diagrams as yours.
