20. Put another piece of the 0.007 in. (0.18 mm) shim
stock between the drive plate and each of the three
pieces of shim stock already in place. Lift the metering
ring and metering package and remove the wood block.
Push the metering package and shims into the metering
ring until the drive plate and shims are at least flush with
the metering ring (Fig. 82).
21. Reverse the metering ring and metering package as
a unit on a flat surface. Push down on the metering
package until the drive plate is on the flat surface. Be
sure the cap screws are loose enough to allow the
commutator ring and drive plate to align themselves
concentrically in the metering ring bore. Gradually
tighten the eleven cap screws, following the sequence
shown in Figure 83 at least twice until a final torque of
11 - 13 in-lb (1.24 - 1.47 Nm) is reached (Fig. 83 and
84). Remove the metering package and shims from the
metering ring. Discard the shims.
CAUTION
Use care and eye protection when adding and
removing shims from the metering ring as the
shims will be under spring tension and could
fly into the air and cause injury.
