For reasons of accessibility, the screw head at the eccentric screw for the toe cannot be turned. It can be adjusted at the nut side -2-  by attaching another larger hexagon with an eccentric washer -1-  (a/f 26) to it. The toe can be adjusted on this in the usual way.

When tightening the nut -2-  to the specified torque, always counter at the large hexagon -1-  .
