SECTION 8: Repair and Replace (continued)
8.4.1.1.3.2. The distance from the finished face of the housing to the
unmarked face of the gear, noted at the time of
disassembly, must be duplicated, either by grinding the
adjusting spacer or adding shims (see Figure 8).
8.4.1.1.3.3. Tighten the clamp screw in the split hub of the gear and
assemble the gear retaining screw and washer, if such
were provided as part of the factory installation.

and insert the worm shaft in the housing.

adjustments in pre-load by shifting shims from one

economical to replace components only in these reducers. Except for seal
or other oil leak problems, replacement of entire reducer is recommended.
8.3.3. Brison Gear Motor
NOTE: May come with 1/11 HP or 1/4 HP motor depending on reducer ratio.
