2.6 Operation
of
gearbox
Gear changing requires
only
minimum effort. The gearbox
is
suitable
for
single
lever
remote control. Upon loosening the retaining screw, the actuating lever
(see
illustration)
can
be
moved
to
any position required
for
the control elements (cable
or rod linkage). Make certain that the lever
does
not contact the actuating lever
cover plate (9): the minimum distance between lever and cover should be 0.5 mm.
The
control cable
or
rod should
be
arranged at right
angles
to
the actuating lever
in the neutral position
of
the lever.
The shifting travel,
as
measured
at the pivot point
of
the actuating lever, between
the
neutral position and
end
positions A and B should be at least 35 mm
for
the
outer
and
30 mm
for
the inner pivot point.
A
larger amount
of
lever travel
is
in no way detrimetal.
However,
if
the lever travel
is
shorter, proper
gear
engagement might
be
impeded
which, in turn,
would
mean
premature wear,
excessive
heat generation
and
result-
ing
damage.
