Check Swing Gear/Pinion Backlash
1. Remove the cover to expose the swing pinion and ring
gear.
Rotating gears can cause injury. Keep hands clear of
rotating pinion and gear while the mast is rotating.
Start the engine and rotate the mast until the high point on
the swing gear is in alignment with the pinion. The high point
is punch-marked on the mast plate (Figure 6-39).
2. Using a feeler gauge, check the backlash between the
gear and pinion. There should be no clearance between
the swing gear tooth and the pinion tooth. If there is any
clearance, adjust the backlash as instructed in the CD15
Service Manual.
