The pinion gear should mesh with the ring gear to provide maximum tooth contact. If the pinion gear does not
mesh entirely with the ring gear:
1. Adjust the handle slot bolt (which bolts to the drive mount clamp) so full meshing of the pinion gear is
achieved when the handle is in the over-center position. The pinion gear will need adjustment when gear
teeth bind or are not meshing sufficiently.
• Gear teeth binding: If the handle will not lock into over-center position, loosen the slot bolt nuts and
slide the handle away from the tire.
• Insufficient Meshing: If the pinion gear will barely mesh with the ring gear, loosen the slot bolt jam nuts
and slide the handle towards the tire until the pinion gear teeth mesh with the ring gear teeth without
binding.
