AXIAL PLAY
S-Series
Ensure there is no deformation of the sheet metal
around the end bearing housing. Straighten as re-
quired.
Before attempting to adjust the drive axle axial
play, check the chaincase perpendicularity as fol-
lows:
CHAINCASE PERPENDICULARITY
ADJUSTMENT
– Remove driven pulley.
– Slacken bearing collar set screw and working
from the driven pulley side, turn bearing collar
clockwise.
TYPICAL
1. Set screw
2. Slacken
3. Tighten
– Extract bearing from its support.
Wrong chaincase perpendicularity will make it dif-
ficult to correctly install the bearing in its support
due to the countershaft and support misalign-
ment.
TYPICAL
– Add shim(s) (P/N 504 0398 00) between chain-
case and frame to obtain easy bearing installa-
tion.
.
This chart can be use as a “starting point” to cor-
rect the chaincase perpendicularity.
