Automatic Cam Chain Adjuster Installation ?
Are the following instructions correct ?
Install in the completely off (Loosest) position. That is, with no tension placed on the Cam Chain. You do this by removing the spring from the end of the adjuster shaft, releasing the one way lock, if there is one, and push the adjuster shaft to it's loosest postion or by pushing the adjuster shaft, under spring pressure, in and locking it with the adjuster pinch bolt. Either way, the adjuster must be in the loosest position
Once installed, what's the procedure to enable the automatic tensioner? Release the tensioner pinch bolts, and turn over the engine ...?
Thanks for your help!

With the tensioner off the cylinder and the spring out (cap off) release the ratchet lock and push the plunger into the fully retracted position.
Set the engine at TDC with some tension on the pulling (front) side of the chain.
Bolt the tensioner onto the cylinder.
Take a drift or phillips screwdriver and push the tensioner out against the back run of the chain slowly and firmly until it stops. Don't lean on it or force it.
put the spring in and screw the cap on.
Done.

Thanks Doug! I knew there had to be more to it than just putting it on
