However, being electrically operated, these gears are sensitive to any type of damage. You may face DC motor failure at any time if the system is not well accessorized.

The first step is preparatory and the second stage is where the DC motor is actually repaired. The stage-wise steps followed in landing gear repair are as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preparatory Stage<\/strong>: The preparatory stage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/rv-and-5th-wheel-landing-gear\/\">fifth wheel landing gear<\/a> repair focuses on the diagnosis and parts collection. In the preparatory stage, following steps are performed.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Problem Diagnosis<\/strong>: There are two basic tests one should perform for problem diagnosis. At first, the driver must check if the leg is hitching and unhitching with the 5th gear. If not then it is a problem, which can be easily resolved by repairing the landing gear. If the vibration has increased and the car makes a choking noise while the DC motor assembly bounces, then it is a problem too. This problem needs DC motor assembly replacement. Sometimes, the failure may have been caused due to poor quality accessories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parts Collection<\/strong>: Before starting repair or replacement, the operator must have all required parts, accessories, and mounting tools. In the case of replacement, the operator may require a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/uploadfiles\/image\/file\/Dual-20Motor-20Data-20Sheet.pdf\">DC motor assembly<\/a>, mounting brackets, power kit, parts kit, crank handle assemblies, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>DC Motor Replacement Stage<\/strong>: Once the preparatory stage is done, the operator begins with the DC motor replacement. The steps followed to replace DC motor assembly are detailed below.\n<ul>\n<li>At first, the operator exposes the drive shaft that transmits power to the leg. This shaft is exposed by detaching the retaining bolts mounted on the sliding sheath. Once the bolts are off, the sheath can be slid back and forth. It exposes the drive shaft.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage.jpg\" alt=\"DC Motor Replacement Stage1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DC-Motor-Replacement-Stage-285x214.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>The motor assembly is secured by a plastic retainer.
