NOTE: JLG Industries requires that a annual inspection be
performed on the worm gear end play.
1. Using a dial indicator, measure end play of worm
gear, by applying side to side movement by hand to
platform.

than 0.005". Refer to Adjusting End Play
Adjusting End Play
1. Remove end plate.
2. Measure and record total thickness of existing shim
pack.
3. Determine thickness of shim pack required to obtain
0.001" - 0.005" end play.

proper end play. Reduce end play by removing
thicker shims and replacing with thinner shims,
included in kit.
