Assembling gear lock

- Insert spring -1- into housing -2- and, while applying light pressure, turn
spring to left until it locates in base of housing.
- Insert bushing -3- onto spring so bent end of spring locates into groove
properly.
- Push bushing against spring and turn approximately one turn to left,
until lug on bushing aligns with groove in housing.
- Press lug of bushing into groove in housing onto stop.
- Turn bushing to right and release.
The bushing will spring into the correct position.

Installation position of bushing:
Checking installation position: - Lug (arrow -A-) of bushing must always face away from groove in
housing (arrow -B-).
- Turn bushing to left and release.
The bushing should spring back into position; the lug must be against
the stop (direction indicated by arrow -A-).
