6. align the ball-joint socket with the power
feeder socket and insert the pivot bar as
shown in
Figure 8.
7. lightly oil the t-handle threads.
8. thread the t-handle through the pivot bar so
the end of the t-handle bolt presses against
the ball-joint socket firmly (see
Figure 8).
5. insert the ball-joint socket into the power
feed socket as shown in
Figure 7, so it rests
against the ball-joint ball.
Note:
Lubrication is not necessary for the ball
joint assembly.
9. place the arm into the arm bracket so the
teeth of the gear and arm mesh as shown in
Figure 9.
Note:
No lubrication is required for the gear
or rack teeth. Oil or grease will gather debris,
making the horizontal adjustment of the power
feeder difficult.
10. install the arm bracket cover and lock lever
with the remaining hex bolts washers and nut
as shown in
Figure 10.
Note:
Make sure that you do not tighten the
hex bolts so much as to prevent the arm from
sliding in and out of the arm bracket when the
horizontal crank is turned.
11. insert the horizontal crank (Figure 10) com-
pletely so it engages the spline in the gear
(
Figure 9).
