Possible wear in the front gear (30383) can be checked
by increasing the spring pressure of the inspection tool
to 1400 gm/cm. The angle value should not fall below
3o. If it does the front gear (30383) should be replaced.
Inspection of the release sequence (angular value):
Free the mechanism by holding the release button
depressed (B-position). The indicator should read
between 268-273o at 300 gm/cm.
Let the mechanism turn to fully released position. The
angle should be 311o, tolerance: 306.5-321o.
Inspect the pre-released position, this should be 118
o
with a tolerance 113-122o. If any of the measurements
are incorrect the possible cause will be in the bevel gear
or the stop gear (13509).
Remove tool 902658( V-2075).
