Spring Release Solenoid Ar mature Cap Adjustment
This adjustment is to be performed only after completing the spring release latch bite adjustment.
The purpose of this adjustment is to establish an armature gap of 3/ 16 to 1/4 inches (4.8 to 6.4mm). A
suitable feeler gage of optimum thickness, (2.18) ( 5.56mm) , should be inserted in the armature gap. That is,
the space between the ground surfaces of the solenoid frame and ground "T" shaped extensions of the
solenoid plunger.
The connecting link between the solenoid plunger and spring release latch should be adjusted to maintain
the plunger in this position. The locking screw is released and the adjusting cap shifted until the effective
length of the link supports the plunger within the indicated range.
