INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF PINION GEAR
- Remove the 4 truss screws to open the maintenance lid.
- As shown, take out the 4 hexagon bolts and disconnect the
3 connectors to remove the slide motor and bracket.
- Check the pinion gear and if the gear teeth are worn or missing,
replace the pinion gear.
- After replacing the gear, install the motor to the frame
with the keyway matching the direction shown. At this time, secure
the slide motor after pressing the bracket to the rack side in
the manner so that the gear and rack backlash becomes zero.
- After assembly, apply grease to the gear and rack.
- Turn power on and check to see that the gear and rack mesh
is correct. If the mesh is incorrect, the motor makes a loud
noise when it rotates.
- After making any adjustments, replace the maintenance lid.
