SWIVEL GEAR




The swivel gears on each side are different.

The right-hand gear is identified by the additional threads for the limit switches.

The steering arm and gear shaft are toothed, ensuring that their relative position is fixed.








The swivel gears are bolted to each side of the rear compartment.

They are accessed by removing the side trim panels.

A worm drive is mounted at the back of each swivel gear. The worm transmits drive shaft movement to the ring gear.




A pinion on the ring gear shaft drives the toothed segment of the swivel gear.
