CLEANING AND INSPECTION
11 1
WARNING
Never use compressed air to "spin-dry" bearings. Spin-
ning bearings with compressed air can also cause a
bearing to fly apart, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.

WARNING
Low pressure compressed air can blow debris into your
face and eyes. Always wear eye protection or a face
shield when using pressurized air. Failure to take ade-
quate safety precautions could result in death or serious
injury.
1. Clean all parts (except bearings) in cleaning solvent and
blow dry with compressed air.
2. Check gear teeth for damage. If gears are pitted, scored,
rounded, cracked or chipped, they should be replaced.
3. Inspect the engaging dogs on the gears. Replace the
gears if dogs are rounded, cracked, battered, chipped or
dimpled.
4. Discard all retaining rings that were removed.
