| Set up measuring tools with dial gauge extension -VW 382/10- (6 mm, flat) as shown in the illustration. |
–
| Set measuring lever, adjustable -VW 388-. |
–
| Measure backlash between faces of gear teeth as follows: |
–
| Turn crown wheel until it makes contact with the face of one tooth (end of backlash travel). |
–
| Set dial gauge to “0” with a preload of 2 mm. |
–
| Turn back crown wheel until it makes contact with opposite face (backlash). |
–
| Take backlash reading and note down measured value. |
–
| Turn crown wheel through 90° and repeat measurements another 3 times. |
Note If the individual measurements differ from each other by more than 0.06 mm, the installation of the crown wheel or the final drive gear set itself is not correct. Check installation; renew final drive gear set if necessary. |
Determining average backlash |
–
| Add the 4 measured values together and divide by 4. |
