the top (Fig. ‘G’).
D Check the correct diameter tolerance by measurin
the size of the gap between both gear wheel halve
For that the gap must be closed on the opposite sid
(Fig. ‘F’).
Gap ‘j’ must be 0.16 mm−0.38 mm. If the dimension
not within the mentioned tolerance, the gear wheel mu
not be assembled, but the center hole has to be given a
appropriate re-machining (see Preparing the assemb
of the gear wheel).
⇒ After measuring, align the gaps between the whe
halves and slightly tighten castle nuts 4 of waiste
studs 3 (Fig. ’C’).
⇒ Also insert a flange screw 6 in the centre of upp
gear wheel half and tighten it temporarily (Fig. ‘G
