Aligning the Stepper Motor
The Stepper Motor Assembly may require alignment when replaced.
Step Procedure
1 Examine the teeth on the pinion gear of the Stepper Motor. They should make
positive contact with the teeth of the idler gear. Note: The amount of contact
between the pinion gear and the idler gear is controlled by the positioning of
the Stepper Motor. Continue to step 2 if alignment is needed.
2 Loosen the mounting screws that secure the Stepper Motor to the chassis.
3 Adjust the Stepper Motor so the the pinion gear rests into the teeth of the idler
gear.
4 Tighten the mounting screws.
5 Turn the idler gear by hand; it should turn with relative ease. There should be
slight tension and positive contact from the Stepper Motor as the axle rotates.
6 Apply a small amount of grease to the pinion gear for lubrication.
