Hammer A3-31 Guard Hardware Question


 

Hi! I am new to the FOG. I got a new (to me) first generation A3-31. Love it so far. I am having an issue where the guard doesn't hold its height and I noticed when I turn the knob on what I assume to be the tensioner it doesn't do anything.?
?
I am guessing the hardware was taken apart and put on wrong, because I can't seem to understand how the current order of nuts and bolts would actually do anything. Does anyone have one of these machines and can take a picture of the proper order of nuts and bolts?
?
Or, better yet, have a parts diagram for the machine? I can't seem to find one anywhere.?
?
Thanks!
Dan


 

Apparently I have a later model of the guard on mine (see picture).? However, it is a very simple construction: the spring needs to develop enough pressure to push the guard up and you adjust the guard height by screwing down the adjustment knob from above.?
?
?
If your guard does not lift up, you need to increase spring tension.? The nuts in your picture are roughly in the right order as far as I understand it. Counting from the bottom, you have the first two that hold the bolt in place on the bracket.? Nut #4 would need to be adjusted upwards to increase the spring tension and #3 works then as a counter nut to hold #4 in place once adjusted.?
?
Hope that helps,
