Setting Ring Gear Backlash

NOTE: Ring gear backlash is set at the factory. No
adjustment is required, unless the front cover is
replaced or the back lash pad screw is removed.
1. The backlash screw has locking agent that holds it
into place. Use a heat gun to loosen the locking agent
on the screw.
2. Using a 3/32 hex wrench, turn the back-lash screw out
3-4 turns. Re-apply Loctite 262
screw threads.
