• Ensure the antenna is not being pinched by the set screw that holds the
antenna tube in place.
Gears
Periodically remove the gear cover to clearly inspect the gears and ensure
there is no debris in the gear compartment.
Proper gear mesh setting is crucial for proper operation and life of gears in
your product. It is important to have the pinion gear (attached to motor) as
close to the spur gear (attached to drive shaft) as possible yet while providing
a minimal amount of backlash. Backlash is the rotation one gear has to make
before contacting the other. Having the gear mesh set too tight will cause
excess load on the electrical components and may cause premature failure.
Having gear mesh set too loose will cause excess wear and possible skipping
of teeth during operation thus causing excess wear and premature failure.
Checking The Gear Mesh
1. Remove the gear cover
2.The gear mesh is not adjustable on the Karoo as it has a fixed motor mount.
However the motor sometimes can be installed un centred. We recommend when
removing and installing the motor you make sure it runs parallel with the centre drive
shaft.
Warning - The Karoo runs a 17T pinion so when installing the motor it is imperative it is
not pushed up against the centre drive shaft.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE WITH THE SPUR GEAR COVER
REMOVED. SEVERE INJURY, DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND
EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON DRIVETRAIN MAY RESULT.
