Centering the Diaphragms
(Figures 12-14)
Step 29: Center the completed diaphragm assemblies
by following steps A through E:
A. Using the Pistons (J and O) for each Body (G and H),
rotate the diaphragm assemblies Counter-Clockwise
until they stop.
B. Mark the Diaphragms (R) and Bodies (G and H) with a line, as
shown in Figure 12.
C. Next, rotate the diaphragm assemblies clockwise
until they stop.
D. Mark the Bodies (G and H) with Extensions from lines
already on the Diaphragms (R) as shown in Figure 13.
E. Finally, by drawing a line exactly between the two lines
on the Bodies (G and H), the diaphragm assembly can be
centered using the existing line that was drawn on the
Diaphragm (R) as shown in Figure 14.
