Notes: 
 
When installing the input shaft or new gears, 
consult technical data   Page 00
-3 . 
 By replacing items - 2 -, - 4 - and/or - 6 -, the 
position of the ball bearing is influenced. In this 
case, the input shaft must be re-adjusted

Notes:  
To avoid damage due to improper assembly, check the following after 
replacing the input shaft:  Fig. 3  Allocation of input shaft/needle bearingInput shaft diameter  
Needle bearing part number  
a: 27 mm (1.062 in.)   012 311 123 D  
a: 29 mm (1.141 in)   012 311 123  
Input shaft must be able to be guided in.Input shaft must have no play.
    
Dimension -a- from lower edge of straight-edge to upper edge of needle 
bearing: 39.5 mm (1.555 in.)  
Note:  
Measure the dimension from the top edge of the straight-edge and 
subtract the height of the straight-edge from the measured dimension.  Fig. 4  Allocation of needle bearing
