B) Setting Tooth Backlash - Reely Carbon Fighter II Bedienungsanleitung

b) Setting Tooth Backlash

Check the tooth backlash at regular intervals. Tooth backlash has to be adjusted at the latest when the electric motor,
the motor pinion, the slip clutch lining or the main pinion is exchanged.
Loosen the attachment screws of the electric motor so
that you can move the motor towards the main pinion with
little pressure. First remove the cover above the gears
and take out the rubber protection stoppers so that you
can reach the motor attachment screws.
The motor pinion and the main pinion now engage without
clearance. However, this is not perfect for the service life
of the gears!
Put a thin paper strip (no more than 80 g paper) between the motor pinion and the main pinion. Then manually turn the
main pinion so that the paper strip is pulled in between the two pinions.
The pressure of the paper pushes back the electric motor by the required measure. Now tighten the motor's attachment
screws again in this position.
If you then turn back the main cogwheel so that the paper strip can be removed again, both cogwheels should have
the correct distance.
Ideally, the motor pinion should be as close as possible to the main pinion without the teeth touching and the
gears therefore being tight.
If the cogwheels (motor pinion and main cogwheel) are too far apart, the main cogwheel teeth will be virtually
shaved off by the motor pinion after a few seconds – this will void the warranty/guarantee!
If the motor pinion presses against the main cogwheel (teeth are running without play), this will decrease
performance, increase power consumption (the motor already requires lots of power to turn the main gear)
and lead to premature wear.
