While holding the gyro spindle and pivot mount in the correct position, insert one 1/16" x
1/4" pivot pin (tapered end first) through the central side hole in the spindle.
LIGHTLY
tap the pin into the corresponding hole in the pivot mount just enough to keep it from
falling out.
6.
q
Turn the gyro spindle assembly over and repeat the last step with the other 1/16" x 1/4"
pivot pin. Remember,
DO NOT
hold the parts against your kitchen or dining room table,
or kitchen counter top. If you damage a counter top or table you will never hear the end of
it.
Warning!
The pivot pins in the gyro assembly are designed to be installed at the same time.
DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO HAMMER IN ONE PIN AT A TIME BECAUSE THE POUNDING
FORCES WILL DAMAGE THE GYRO SPINDLE.
7.
q
Double check that the gyro spindle and pivot mount are correctly oriented with respect to
each other.
8.
q
Tap the pivot pins into the pivot mount a little further. Check to see if the pins are going in
straight, and that the gyro spindle can pivot freely. If a pin is not going in straight and the
gyro spindle binds, carefully straighten the pin with a pair of pliers. Keep checking the
straightness of the pins while tapping them into the pivot mount until firmly seated. When
completely seated, the ends of the pins will be flush with the plastic on the gyro spindle,
or they may stick out slightly (1/32" [1mm]).
9.
q
Your
Model 110
has a dual-gain gyro. The gyro spindle has a standard gain (lower pin
position) and a high gain (upper pin position). Connect the spider slider to the gyro
spindle with a 1/16" x ½" pin in the upper pin (high gain) position. As you tilt the spindle up
and down (about 20 degrees each direction) the spider should slide
VERY
freely back
and forth along the push/pull rod. If the mechanism jams, check the end of the push/pull
rod, it may be hitting the inside of the spindle.
10.
q
Wedge a hobby knife blade between the washer and spider slider, as shown in Fig. 9-2,
and carefully pry the slider away from the eyelet slightly until the spider spins freely.
There should be no noticeable play between the spider and slider. Apply a drop of oil to
each side of the spider.
