You mustgrease the inside and the outside of the sleeve. Note also: Apply Loctite only to the inside of the tail rotorhub. Any Loctite inside of the sleeve will make the tail blad holders run unsmooth. Therefore, do not useLoctite on the thread of the screw.2xBag 56x8x0,51M3x83x10x42xM3x103x4x11Glue ball bearingsusing 5min.

7 Mounting the Motor 8 Mounting the CanopyBag 1Bag 1,21For mounting the new motor counterbearing with rotorshaftsuport, please follow these steps: First, mount themain gear, the rotor shaft assembly and all shims. Secureassembly with the 10 mm c-clip (Picture 2). The main gearwill have 0.5 mm axial play. This is normal and will facilitatethe mounting and positioning of the pinion later on.Now mount the motor and the counterbearing. Once themotor position is set (please ensure correct gear backlash!),please screw the rotorshaft support onto the counterbearing,using the three M3x6 screws.4x1x2x3xM3x85x10x1M3x6Bag 2M4x324x10x16x0,51x10x16x0,22Bag 15x10x110x16x0,5M4x32Please mount the motor, motor plate, pinionand counterbearing as illustrated in the abovepicture. When positioning the pinion, pleaseensure that it sits exactly on the ball bearing ofthe counterbearing with only one shim (5x10x1)inbetween. Also make sure that the M3 set screwsits on the flattened area of the motor shaft.5x10x110x16x0,510x16x0,5Installation of the Motor PinionScrew the motor pinion onto the motor shaft, making sure that itcan still be moved. Now mount the motor on the motor plate andmove the pinion so it is aligned well with the main gear. As visualhelp for aligning the pinion you may use the small ridge whichseparates the two parts of the pinion. When the pinion is alignedcorrectly it will easily engage with the main gear. If the pinion doesnot engage with the main gear, it is not correctly aligned. After thepinion is correctly aligned, take the motor out of the mainframeand tighten the set screw.Gear BacklashMove the motor with the pinion until it is limited by the gear. Tightenone of the M4x32 screws slightly. You must still be able to swivelthe motor around its own axis. In this way you can easily determinethe correct distance between the main gear and the pinion.There should be no (!) gear backlash. At the same time, the motorshould not (!) exert any pressure onto the running surface of themain gear. After you have determined the correct distance, tightenthe second M4x32 screw.Manual LOGO 550SX - ©Mikado Model Helicopters GmbH - Page 9
