    Backlash : Refer to BACKLASH .
    • If the backlash is outside of the specification, change the thickness of the side bearing adjusting washers.
      When the backlash is large:
        Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thicker, and drive tooth side adjusting washer thinner by the same amount. For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts information.
      If the backlash is less than specification:
        Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thinner, and drive tooth side adjusting washer thicker by the same amount. For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts information.
      CAUTION:

      Never change the total amount of washers as it changes the preload torque.
