NOTE
When installing the sprockets in Steps 2
and 3, fit the sprockets onto the drive
chain so that the stamped sprocket num-
bers face out.
2. Determine the correct number and thickness
of spacer washers necessary to align the sprock-
ets as follows:
a. Install the upper sprocket (12, Figure 1),
washer
(11,
Figure 1) and nut (10, Figure
1).
Temporarily tighten the nut until the
sprocket is fully seated.
b. Install the lower sprocket (37, Figure 1),
washer ( 11, Figure 1) and retaining screw
or nut (38, Figure 1). Temporarily tighten
the nut or retaining screw until the sprocket
is fully seated.
c. Place a straightedge across the sides of both
sprockets and measure any offset (Figure
7). The sprockets should be aligned within
0.8
mm
(0.031 in.).
d. If the sprockets are not aligned, change the
thickness of the spacer washers ( 13, Figure
1) behind the upper sprocket to align the
sprockets.
e. When alignment is correct, remove the
sprocket retaining nuts or bolts, washers
and sprockets. Leave the selected spacer
washers (13, Figure 1) on the shaft.
3. Install the chain and sprockets (Figure 6) as
an assembly.
4. Coat the threads of the shafts for retaining
nuts (A and B, Figure 5) or the threads of the
retaining bolts with Loctite 271 (red).
