If for some reason you have found it necessary to
remove the pinions, you should carefully follow
these instructions. All parts must be clean before
assembling.
1. To assist you, we suggest using a piece of
wood doweling or plastic material 5/8”
diameter, 2” long as shown. Each pinion is
different as indicated by the part number and
must be returned to the correct side of
the shaft.
2. Insert the wooden dowel into the pinion.
3. Identify your pinion part number and insert the
metal rollers. Place the plastic tubing in the
cavity between the metal roller and the wall of
the cavity. You may have to force the plastic
tubing into this space but it is resilient and is
suppose to fit tightly.
4. Pinion with part number 74-79 LB is to be
replaced on the left side of the shaft. Part
number 74-78 RB is for the right side. Line
up the pinion (leaving the dowel in place) with
the shaft as shown.
5. Push the pinion onto the shaft which will force
the dowel to back out of the pinion. This will
leave the rollers and plastic tubes in their
proper position.
6. Apply a coating of grease on the outside of
the wheel gear teeth. Do not grease inside
pinions, this will cause pawl springs to be
ineffective.
NOTE: The right and left sides are determined
from the operators position.
