General notes
Careful adjustment of final drive gear set is essential to ensure that bevel gears give long service and run quietly. Therefore, the bevel gear with stub shaft and shaft bevel gear are matched during production and checked on testing machines to ensure correct mesh pattern and silent running. The position for quietest running is obtained by moving the shaft bevel gear axially and, at the same time, maintaining the backlash within the specified tolerances. Renew final drive gear set (bevel gear with stub shaft and shaft bevel gear) together only!
