4. Take the seal side housing assembly (# 14), lightly oil
the exciter shaft bearing journal and apply Loctite 515
gasket eliminator, or equilivant, to mating flange.
Slide housing assembly onto shaft and install snap
ring (# 9) through seal bore onto shaft. Do not install
seal at this time.
5. Slide exciter shaft and housing assembly into drum.
Use care to press housing in evenly. Secure with six
bolts (# 19). Use medium strength thread locker.
Install two bolts (# 18) in the push out holes to protect

6. To aid in assembly, insert a piece of ¾" round stock in
the vent end of the exciter shaft. Take vent side
housing assembly (# 5), apply a light coat of oil to the
exciter shaft bearing journal, and Loctite 515 gasket
eliminator, or equilivant, to the mating flange. Slide
housing assembly over the ¾" round stock, exciter
shaft, and onto drum assembly. Have someone lift up
the exciter shaft while aligning the housing assembly
with mounting holes in the drum and slide the
assembly on evenly.
7. Install the six bolts (# 19) use medium strength thread
locker. Install two bolts (# 18) in the push out holes to
protect threads. Make sure exciter assembly rotates
freely.

Make sure felt filter (# 1), retainer (# 2) and spiral pin
(# 15) are in place.
