If the Front Rotor Bearing needs to be replaced, press it from the 

Front End Plate.

Lift off the Cylinder (27).

Remove the Vanes (29).

NOTICE

Loctite® * No. 277 was applied to the threads of the Rotor 

during assembly to prevent the Controller Assembly (24) from 

loosening during operation. Before attempting to unscrew the 

assembly from the Rotor, apply moderate heat from a propane 

torch to the middle of the rotor body to soften the Loctite. Do 

not overheat the Rotor. Heat it only long enough to allow the 

Controller Assembly to be unscrewed without using excessive 

force.

CAUTION

Use only the special Controller Wrench for removing the 

Controller Assembly. Do not attempt to disassemble the 

Controller. It is available only as a unit and is guaranteed for the 

life of the Grinder if it is not abused.

11. Using the No. 77H-950 Controller Wrench, unscrew and remove 

the Controller Assembly (24).

NOTICE

The Rear End Plate, Spacer and Bearing are a matched set. Do not 

mix the components with those of another set. The Rear Rotor 

Bearing is always damaged during the removal process, and a 

complete new Rear End Plate Assembly must be installed.

12. If the Rear End Plate Assembly (25) consisting of the Rear End 

Plate, Spacer and Bearing needs to be replaced, press it from the 

Controller.

Assembly

General Instructions

Always press on the

 inner

 ring of a ball-type bearing  when 

installing the bearing on a shaft.

Always press on the 

outer

 ring of a ball-type bearing when 

pressing the bearing in a bearing recess.

Whenever grasping a tool or part in a vise, always use leather-

covered or copper-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of 

the part and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of 

threaded members and housings.

Always clean every part, and wipe every part with a thin film of oil 

before installation.

Apply a film of O-ring lubricant to all O-rings before final 

assembly.

Assembly of the Motor and Throttle

Assemble the Throttle Valve Seat Support Parts. Tighten the Valve 

Seat Screw (9) to 12 in-lb (1.4 Nm) torque. Apply O-ring Lubricant 

to the new Valve Support Seals (13) before installing them on the 

Throttle Valve Seat Support.

Insert the Assembly in the large diameter of the handle, Valve 

Seat Screw end first.

Using No. 77H-154 Valve Seat Support Retainer Pliers, install the 

Throttle Valve Seat Support Retainer (15).

Press the Front Rotor Bearing (31) and the Front End Plate (30) 

onto the rotor shaft.

Grasp the Rotor (28) in a vise, splined end down.

Place the Cylinder (27) over the Rotor, aligning the dowel hole in 

the Cylinder with the dowel hole in the Front End Plate.

Apply a film of light oil to each new Vane (29) and insert a Vane, 

straight edge out, into each vane slot in the Rotor. If new Vanes 

are required, replace the entire set.

8.  Check the large inside diameter of the Rear End Plate  

Assembly (25) for wear. If the large inside diameter of the Rear 

End Plate  is worn to 1.516” (38.5 mm) or larger, install a new Rear 

End Plate Assembly.

NOTICE

If the Controller Assembly must be replaced, it is furnished with 

a new Rear End Plate Assembly. Use only the End Plate Assembly 

furnished with the Controller Assembly. If the Controller is 

good but the Rear End Plate Assembly needs replacement, only 

install a new Rear End Plate Assembly. Do not use or interchange 

old parts with new Rear End Plate Assembly components. The 

End Plate, Spacer and Bearing are a matched set. Do not mix 

components with those of another set.  The Rear Rotor Bearing 

is always damaged during removal and a new Rear End Plate 

Assembly must be installed.

9.  Press the Rear End Plate Assembly onto the shaft of the Controller 

Body making certain that the marked end of the Rear Rotor  

Bearing faces toward the Controller or rear of the Grinder. Also 

make certain that the bevelled side of the Spacer faces the 

Cylinder or front of the Grinder.

10. Clean the threads on the Controller Assembly (24) and apply two 

or three drops of Loctite No. 277.
