theloadontheshaftbylooseningthescrewswhichxthedrivenshaftpulley,andrecheck.
If there is still irregularity, replace motor and gear head. If the irregularity doesn’t reappear,
check the driven shaft assembly.

detach motor assembly mounting plate, should be carefully reassembled, referring to Sec.
8.2.1throughSec.8.2.3.
