by pulling the arms forward at the lower ends.
3. Remove all bushings and pins from the contact operating arms.
4. Remove the counterweight nuts from the front end of the vane assembly and
loosen the lock nuts from the trunnion screws.
5. Place the relay on its mounting surface with the contacts forward.
6. Insert a piece of paper in the air gap on each side of the vane to protect it from
being scratched by the pole pieces during removal.
7. Turn the trunnion screws out until they are flush with the inside surface of the
support casting.
8. Remove the trunnion lock nuts from the shaft.
9. Lower the shaft until the vane edge rests on the machined slot of the contact
blocks.
