6 REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
If adjusting Spring Tension only and not replacing the
Traction Cord, it will be necessary to remove the Side
Covers and have available the Tools required in 6.9, B.
13. Manually release the Solenoid and
simultaneously fully extend the Traction
Cord. Release Solenoid and make certain
the Solenoid Gear fully engages the
Large Driven Gear. See Figure 6.38.
14. With the Cord fully extended, rotate the
Cord Spring Housing clockwise until
the Cord Spring is completely wound,
then rotate counterclockwise 1/4 to 1/2
turn. Hold the Cord Spring Housing in
position and tighten the Retaining Screw
using the 5/32 in Allen Wrench. See
Figure 6.39.
NOTE:
Overtightening of the Cord Spring Housing Retaining
Screw will break the housing and cause the spring to
lose tension.
15. While holding on to the Traction Cord,
manually release the Solenoid and allow
the Traction Cord to retract.
16. Manually release the Solenoid and
simultaneously fully extend the Traction
Cord. Release Solenoid and make certain
it fully engages the Large Driven Gear.
17. Using Tape Measure, measure the length
of the Cord from the Cord Guide Cover to
the end of the Harness Clip. See
Figure 6.40. Measurement should be
96.5 cm to 106.5 cm (38 in to 42 in).
a) If measurement is less than 96.5 cm
(38 in), Spring Tension is too tight.
Loosen the Spring Housing Retaining
Screw and allow the housing to release
no more than 1/2 revolution of tension.
Tighten Spring Housing Retaining
Screw and repeat steps 15 and 16.
b) If measurement is more than 106.5 cm
(42 in), increase Traction Cord Spring
Tension by no more than 1/2
revolution.
18. Repeat step 17 a or b until Cord
dimension is correct.
Unplug the unit from the power source before
attempting removal or replacement procedures to
prevent electrical shock.
