low
Possible cause:,
The driven bevel gear is further away from the drive bevel
gear than necessary.
Remedy:Use a thinner spacer for the driven bevel gear mount
adjustment so that the driven bevel gear is closer to the
drive bevel gear.
NOTE(1) If correct tooth contact cannot be obtained by replace-
ment of spacer for adjusting driven bevel gear mount,
change the spacers for adjustment of drive bevel gear
preload and drive bevel gear mount adjustment to thoseof appropriate thickness as described below and adjust
the tooth contact again.
lIf the driven bevel gear height is still too small whenthe thinnest spacer for driven bevel gear mount
adjustment
[0.13 mm (.005 in.)] is used;
Change the spacer for drive bevel gear mount
adjustment to the next thicker one and change the
spacer for drive bevel gear preload adjustment to
the next thinner one.
lIf the driven bevel gear height is still too large whenthe thickest spacer for driven bevel gear mount
adjustment
[0.52 mm (020 in.)] is used;
Change the spacer for drive bevel gear mount
adjustment to the next thinner one and change the
spacer for drive bevel gear preload adjustment to
the next thicker one.
Repeat above steps until standard tooth contact
pattern is obtained.
(2) If the tooth contact pattern cannot be brought close
,tothe standard pattern by the adjustment described
above, replace the drive bevel gear and driven bevel
gear as a set and adjust the tooth contact again.

HOOD ADJUSTMENTN23FAAK1. Loosen the hood mounting bolts, and then adjust the hood
by moving it so that the clearance is equal on all sides.
2. Turn the hood bumpers, adjust the height of the hood.
3. Loosen the food latch mounting bolts, and move the food
switch to adjust the attachment between the food switch
and food striker.
LIFTGATE ADJUSTMENTN23FCAE1. Loosen the
