9. Adjusting the Tilt Gearing:

The tilt hand wheel changes the tilt angle of the blade by rotating a worm gear that engages a sector gear on

the front trunnion. The worm gear should be fully engaged in the sector gear to eliminate any play in the tilt

control mechanism. If the tilt angle does not begin changing as soon as the tilt hand wheel is turned, then it may

be necessary to adjust the position of the worm gear. Alternatively, it may be necessary to adjust the position

of the worm gear if the tilt hand wheel binds up during rotation.

The worm gear is mounted on the tilt control shaft and supported by the tilt shaft bracket (see Fig. 75). The tilt

shaft bracket is mounted on the back of the front trunnion bracket by a pair of socket-head mounting bolts. A

hex head support bolt extends from the bottom of the front trunnion bracket to push against the bottom of the

tilt shaft bracket. The support bolt prevents the tilt shaft bracket from dropping out of position.

To adjust the position of the worm gear, loosen the two mounting bolts using a 8 mm hex L-wrench. Next,

loosen the lock nut on the support bolt. Turn the support bolt clockwise to raise the worm gear and eliminate

any play in the tilt mechanism. Alternatively, turn the support bolt counter-clockwise to lower the worm gear and

prevent binding. Tighten the lock nut and the mounting bolts. Finally, test the tilt mechanism to confirm that it

is properly adjusted.
