Install Bearing on the Shaft. On the opposite end of the Shaft, install one .012" and one .020" Gear Adjusting
Shims. Install the Gear Spacer and the Gear. Install one .020" thick Gear Adjusting Shim and install the
Bearing. FIGURE Mnt-R-0068-0069.
STEP 7
Install the Shaft Assembly into the Main Housing. FIGURE Mnt-R-0070. Install the Input Cap and check the
gap between the Main Housing and the Input cap to determine the approximate amount of Shims that will be
required. Remove the Input Cap and install the Gaskets. Reinstall the Cap and install four Bolts. FIGURE Mnt-
R-0071.
NOTE! These four Bolts should be installed in every other bolt hole of the Cap When tightening, the second
bolt tightened should be 180 degrees away from the first bolt tightened. Check how the Input Shaft turns. When
turned, if tight, additional Shims are needed. If loose and the Shaft can be moved from side to side, Shims
need to be removed. The correct adjustment of the Input Shaft Bearings is when the Shaft turns freely, but
cannot be moved from side to side in the Housing.
