Adjusting Axial Play, Input Shaft

Tools Required:

DW260-080 Clutch B/E Shim Setting Gauge

CAUTION: After assembling the rear cover. You must measure the axial play specification, if the measured data is not satisfied the specification. Replace the clutch B/E's shim.

Incorrect axial play may cause the vibration or noise. The specification of the axial play is 0.18 - 0.42 mm.

Clamp fixture on the input shaft so that the measuring base rests on the stator shaft.
Set dial gauge to 0.
Measure axial play by pulling and pressing on the handle. (repeat measurement)

Calculate the measurement values. (average)
- EXAMPLE
  M1 = 0.51 mm
  
  M2 = 0.49 mm
  
  M = (0.51 + 0.49) / 2 = 0.5 mm
  
  S (specification) = 0.18 - 0.42 mm
  
  D (adjustment value) = 0.5 mm - (0.18 - 0.42) mm
  
  So, D is 0.08 - 0.32 mm
  
  Calculate the average, so D is 0.2 mm
Replace shim.
- Disc thickness must be between 0.08 and 0.32 mm thicker. It is sensible to select one with a disc that average 0.2 mm thicker than the one that was installed.
