Assembly of Drive Unit if in Parts

 

 
If the Drive Unit is in pieces (e.g. part replacement after an ‘incident’): 
 
1.  Remove the four top bolts from the Motor’s Gearbox and re-screw in, loosely, through both Motor Mounting 

Plates (ensure correct orientation of the motor – should be as pictured above with cables to the back).  
Attach the Catcher to the Motor Short Mount. 

2.  “Clip” the rounded ends of the Motor Mounting Plates onto the edge of the PowerPac Carrier and secure 

the Long Mount with its 10mm bolt through the ExoSkeleton Plate.  Tighten all bolts once Mounts and 
Motor are square. 

3.  Mount the Stylus Support leaving the Support Bolt loose (do not screw tight as the Support may need to 

swivel to the left or right slightly to get the best line up in Step 5). 

4.  Mount the Stylus and click into the Support (loosely do up the Stylus bolt).  
5.  Push the Base Drive Plate onto the motor shaft (the shaft should be greased first) - this is a lock/key fit so 

take care to line up the Drive Plate properly (this fit can be tight to start with). 

6.  Turn the Stylus to “on” position (see Stylus Operation instructions below).  Stylus Roller Arms must be 

pointing as close as possible to the centre of the Drive Plate shafts in order for best operation (you may 
need to swivel the Stylus Support left or right a little to help “line up”).  Tighten the Stylus and Support bolts 
a little, then test alignment by turning on the PowerPac Motor (with Spools on the Drive Plates).  Make any 
alignment adjustments so Stylus Arms remain centred when the PowerPac Motor is on and tighten bolts 
securely. 

7.  Turn the Stylus to “locked” position.  Rotate the Base Drive Plate until the “stop” either contacts or is in 

alignment with the Stylus Lock (see below).  Adjust the Stylus Lock length in or out of the Stylus until the 
end is just rubbing on the Base Drive Plate rim.
