12) through the Left Single Bearing Bracket (Figure 4 item 4) and screw them into the Saddle (Figure
4 item 1) finger tight.
7.2.27 There should be a .005” to .007” gap between the Pinion Gear (Figure 5 item 4) and the teeth of Ring
Gear (Figure 4 item 3). Make sure the Pinion Gears (Figure 5 item 4) of the Single Bearing Brackets
(Figure 4 items 4 & 5) are evenly spaced in the teeth of the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3).

Note: When the Pinion Gears (Figure 5 item 4) of the Left and Right Single Bearing Bracket (Figure 4
item 4 & 5) enters the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3) it should not suddenly pull the Ring Gear. As the
Pinion Gear (Figure 5 item 3) of the Left and Right Single Bearing Bracket (Figure 4 item 4 & 5)
leaves the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3) it should not suddenly push the Ring Gear.
7.2.32 Tighten the Hex Head Cap Screws (Figure 4 item 11) on both sides of the Left Single Bearing Bracket
Assembly (Figure 4 item 4) with a 9/16” wrench.
7.2.33 Rotate the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3) one (1) full revolution in the clockwise and counterclockwise
direction checking the entry of the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3) into the Pinion Gears (Figure 5 item 4)
of the Left and Right Single Bearing Bracket (Figure 4 item 4 & 5).
Note: The entry of the Pinion Gears into the Ring Gear should be smooth and without hesitation.

direction checking the entry of the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3) into the Pinion (Figure 5 item 4) of the
Left & Right Single Bearing Bracket Assembly (Figure 4 item 4 & 5) to insure the entry of the Pinion
Gears into the Ring Gear is smooth and without hesitation.
7.2.36 Drill through Sprocket (Figure 5 item 2) and Axle (Figure 5 item 3) of the Left Single Bearing Bracket
Assembly with a 3/16” drill.
