If power gear, put slide out and use some kind of marker and count and mark every five teeth on the RACK. Then when you come to the gear, see that both gears are meshing in the same rack tooth, it is called checking the timing. For example mine were 2 teeth off, one gear was meshed at, for example meshed with rack tooth 31 and the other side was meshed tooth 29. When the slide comes in, the one side hit the wall first about 2 teeth sooner then the other side. If it is off you just have to drive the shear pin out of the gear, slide the gear to the side, then move the slide in or out by hand and slip the gear back into the proper mesh at the same mark as the opposite gear. Put the pin back in. You are now back in TIME, test and see what happens.
When mine was new the dealer had to remove the slide to repair something and when they put it back in they got it out of time. I fixed it myself instead of driving 30 miles back to the dealer.
