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.
