Note:
When in alignment, the line on the backlash
•
gear must be located directly above the
drive gear tooth marked with a ' dot ' .
Since the drive gear ' dot ' cannot be seen
•
when the backlash gear is in alignment,
always mark the ' dot ' -marked gear tooth
with a paint mark in order that it can always
be identified.

8. Secure the backlash gear in position with the fixture
supplied with the tool by placing the fixture pegs
across two gear teeth (ensure that the fixture will not
be in the way when assembling the balancer to the
crank).
