Inspect the reduction gear spring lapan.

If cracks are visible on it, replace the spring.

If possible, check the elasticity of the spring.

The length of the spring in the free state should be 50 mm, to compress the spring to a length of 40 mm, a force of 43.5–48.5 N (4.35–4.85 kgf) must be applied.

If the spring does not meet at least one of these requirements, replace it.
