Then the top and bottom of the conical burr, and the flat area in the middle of the 
aluminum holder for the bottom flat burr ('burr driver"), which abuts the bottom face of 
the bottom conical burr.

In all cases of precision reassembly, rotate mating 
parts against each other and by doing so make 
certain by sound and feel that contaminants haven't 
fallen into mating surfaces.

Install the screw (with moving wiper) in the center of 
the rotating burr assembly.  Tighten the screw while 
holding the shaft by use of the pin.

Install the static wiper. It should be just clear of the 

rotating burr assembly.  The foot of the wiper that goes under the screw head should lie 
alongside the static flat burr. Use a business card or similar to set the leg of the wiper to 

just clear the moving flat burr. Make certain that the 
moving wiper does not hit it.  The screw must be

 

firmly

 tightened or the wiper can rotate out and 

interfere with the moving wiper.

When you reinstall the bottom funnel, you should 
likewise rotate it against the mating surface at the 
top of the funnel to make sure it mates cleanly with 
the mounting surface.  Then loosen the hollow nuts 
that retain the clips, slide the clips into the slot in the 
bottom funnel and retighten them.  

The moving wiper should run just clear of the inside of the bottom funnel.  The 
clearance should be about the thickness of two business cards or less.  This is a 
precision part and was checked on assembly.  If the wiper has too much clearance or 
rubs against the bottom funnel, it has been bent out of shape.
