7. Tighten the snorkel tube until it is lightly seated using
the snorkel tool (PA-50231). Turn the output shaft to
prevent binding while tightening the snorkel tube.
Make sure the snorkel shaft gear and output bevel
gear have 'zero' lash.
NOTE: It is important to have zero lash between
the output gear and the snorkel shaft gear. If
there is binding or excess lash, tighten or loosen
the snorkel shaft until there is zero lash.
Do not overtighten the snorkel tube. Gears
should rotate freely without binding.
8. Look down into the gearcase at the snorkel locking
screw hole opening to reference your starting point.

9. Slowly rotate the snorkel tube counterclockwise
while counting the number of notches passing
through the hole opening as you rotate the tube.
Rotate the snorkel tube to the 7th notch from the
'seated' position obtained in step 7.
10. Check the output shaft gear backlash again by feel. If
the output shaft lash appears to be too tight, rotate
the snorkel shaft counterclockwise to the next notch.
11. Once the backlash is set, apply Loctite 242
threads and install the locking screw to secure the
snorkel tube.
