WARNING:
The safe torque range on the Bearing Adjustment Set Screws is 1 to 3 in-lbs.
(.1 to.3 N-m).
Over-tightening the Bearing Adjustment Set Screws will result in accelerated bearing
wear and lower available power.
Lock the Bearing pre-load by tightening the Bearing Adjustment Lock Screws
(A through F).
The safe torque is 8 to 10 ft-lbs. (11 to 14 N-m).
Too much torque may crack the Bearing while too little torque may allow the
Bearing pre-load to relax
INSPECTION OF THE MAIN GEAR
If the Headstock does not run smoothly, even after adjustment, inspect the Main
Gear to ensure that no chips, dirt or dust have damaged the gear.
Remove the front Thrust Plates by removing the 6 Hold Down Screws.
Lift the Headstock from the Housing. Refer to the Clamshell Cross Section.
The Main Gear and the Main Bearing may now be inspected.
Check the Bearing, Housing, and the race on the Gear.
All surfaces should be smooth, without scratches, and they should feature even
wear patterns over the entire surface.
Check the Housing cavity for chips, dirt and/or corrosion.
