Slipper Clutch
1. Install the inner slipper plate (84) onto the top shaft
(83). Make sure the notch in the inner slipper plate
keys onto the 2x10 spring pin (116) in the top shaft.
2. Place the slipper pad (64) and outer slipper plate
(85) onto the top shaft. Make sure the slipper pad is
properly centered between the two plates.
3. Install the slipper bushing (86) into the spur gear (16).
4. Slide the spur gear onto the top shaft and secure it to
the outer slipper plate using two 3x6mm screws (J)
and two 3mm spring washers (P).
5. Slide a 3mm fl at washer (Q), 3mm brass washer (W),
and then another 3mm washer onto the top shaft.
6. Install the slipper spring (87), 3mm washer, and a
3mm lock nut (O). Refer to page 9 for adjusting
the slipper.

1. Setting the proper mesh between the spur and pinion gears is important.
Improper mesh can result in damage to the spur and pinion gears,
shorter run times and may make the motor run hot. Although setting the
mesh correctly can be tedious, the process can be simplifi ed with the aid
of a simple scrap of standard notebook paper.
2. Place the scrap paper between the pinion and spur gear. Slide the
motor forward so the pinion teeth mesh with the spur gears with the
piece of paper pinched tight between them.
3. Tighten the motor screws to hold the motor in place, and slowly rotate
the gears until the paper is pushed out from between the gears.
4. Rock the spur gear back and forth with light pressure. The gear should
be able to move a small amount (about 1/4 of the size of one of the gear
teeth) without moving the pinion.
5. If the spur moves more than the recommended amount, the gear mesh
is too loose. Loosen the motor mount screws and move the motor closer
to the spur gear.
6. If the spur moves less than the recommended amount, the gear mesh is
too tight. Loosen the motor mount screws and move the motor away from
the spur gear. Once the gear mesh is correct, tighten down the motor
screws, and re-check the mesh to be sure it did not change as the motor
screws were tightened. It is a good idea to check gear mesh every few
runs and also make sure motor screws are still tight.

1. Install a 3mm spring washer (P) onto both of the
3x8mm motor mount screws (H).
2. Align the mounting holes on the motor with the
mounting holes in the motor plate. Secure the
motor with the two 3x8mm screws. Note: Do not
fully tighten the 3x8mm screws at this time.
3. Install the pinion gear (80), tooth side out, onto
the motor shaft.
4. Rotate the pinion gear on the motor shaft until
the set screw hole is aligned with fl at area of the
motor shaft.
5. Secure the pinion to the motor shaft with a
3x3mm set screw (K).
