Hi Erik - the handle housing is made eccentric to allow adjustment of the worm and wheel engagement. Loosen the locks then adjust the eccentric so it's just binding, (that should reduce nearly all the slack in the handle) then rotate the handle. You'll find it goes loose and tight in various places. Idea is to get that drag even all round, in both directions. You'll need to drive it for some time to get it smooth, a variable speed electric drill on the handle shaft works :) Beware though that shaft doesn't seize where it enters the eccentric. Put plenty of oil on it. Well run in, and modified you should be able get the backlash down to less than a thou.
