gear shaft with a torque wrench.
STANDARD: 3.4 - 4.4 N-m
(35 - 45 kgf-cm, 30 - 39 Ibf-in)
NOTE:
• Measure the starting torque at normal room tem-
perature in both directions.
• Changing the shim to the next size will increase or
decrease starting torque about 0.3 - 0.4 N-m
(3-4 kgf-cm, 3 - 4 Ibf-in).
• To increase the starting torque, increase the
thickness of the shim. To decrease the starting
torque, decrease the thickness of the shim.
