I think it is as simple as that. If the machine is not equipped with a special means of adjustment then 'undo' the ring against the nut. Possibly a separate locking ring? Without a picture difficult to be more precise.

take down / dismantle
I believe the french text contains a typo: "sinon défaire la bague contre écrou"
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/défaire
défaire
1. (transitive) to take down, take apart, dismantle
2. (transitive) to undo, unfasten, unwind

défaire
1. (transitive) to take down, take apart, dismantle

For models with this setting, otherwise ring locknut will be unscrewed
Hello,
Could "défaite" just mean "unscrewed" here?
Pour les modèles équipés de ce réglage, sinon (sera) défaite la bague contre écrou)"
bague contre-écrou = ring locknut

Could they be saying "Pour les modèles équipés de ce réglage, sinon défaite (sera) la bague contre-écrou"?
