NOTE:- The adjusting bolt changes W approximately 0.7 mm for each rotation.
- Do not rotate the adjusting bolt more than one rotation.
CAUTION:- Secure the gear housing, and crimp the crimping part of the band firmly with the tip of the special tool.
- Crimp the boot band securely until the special tool contacts the stopper.
- Use the special tool to crimp the boot band.
- Check that the crimping width of the boot band (A) is within the range of the standard value.
Standard value (A): 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.09 - 0.11 inch)
When the crimping width is greater than 2.8 mm (0.11 inch)
Readjust the value W described in Step 1 to the following formula, and perform the operation in Step 2 again.
W=5.5-A (Example: When A is 2.9, W is 2.6.)
When the crimping width is less than 2.4 mm (0.09 inch)
Remove the boot band, readjust the value W described in Step 1 to the following formula, and perform the Steps 2 and 3 using a new boot band. W=5.5-A (Example: When A is 2.3, W is 3.2.)
