Changing Gears
To change the gears on the MI-1220 XL, follow these steps. You will need a 10mm
wrench, 6mm Allen wrench, screwdriver (to remove C clips), and pliers (to replace C
clips).
1.
Remove all C clips, nuts, and gears, starting with the A gear and ending with the D
gear. With the 10mm wrench, loosen the B & C gearshaft in its bracket by turning the
gearshaft counterclockwise (Figure 14.1). This lets the shaft slide freely along the
bracket for easy gear removal and replacement.
Figure 14.1 Remove all C clips, nuts and gears.
2.
Select the proper A-D gear combination from the list outside the pulley box door.
3.
Use the Allen wrench to loosen the bolt at the bottom of the bracket assembly for full
swing and easy gear replacement (Figure 14.1).
4.
Place the selected D gear on the D shaft, flange side in. Replace the spacer, washer
and nut.
5.
Place the selected C gear, flange side in, on the B & C gearshaft.
6.
Place the selected B gear, flange side in, on the B & C gearshaft. Replace the C clip.
7.
Slide the B & C gearshaft unitl the C gear meshes properly with the D gear and
tighten it with the 10mm wrench (Figure 14.2).
