Fitting the power train components
We are now going to fit the main gear and tail
drive gear.
 |
This is the special strong
nylon main gear that not only fits the Interceptor 400, BUT
ALSO WORKS JUST GREAT ON THE ESKY BELT CP.
Note that there is a special spacer washer
in the bag of fitting parts for this gear. This must be put in the correct way up. |
| Here is the main gear with the
special washer resting on top the CORRECT way around. It is
also now sitting on top of the tail drive gear |
 |
|
Slide the pair of gears
through the left hand side of the frame, with the main gear
on top, until the mainshaft can be pushed down through both
gears as shown in the picture below.
|
|
|
If necessary, loosen the grub
screw that is holding the collar shown on the left so that
you can push the mainshaft all the way down and out of the
bottom of the main gears. |
| Carefully line up the mainshaft
with the bottom of the main gears, and rotate slowly until
the hole in the mainshaft lines up with the gears as shown
on the right. Then push the long bolt through all the
way, and using some thread lock, secure it on the other side
with the nut provided. Tighten it as far as possible |
 |
 |
Use your finger to pull the
main gears UPWARDS so that are pushed up snugly (NOT TOO
TIGHTLY) against the lower main bearing, and then while
keeping it in that position, slide the locking collar down
snugly against the TOP bearing and tighten the grub screw as
possible (using thread lock of course)
There should be no noticeable end float on
the main shaft after you have done this.
