7. Lift the table slide assembly
from the machine base and
remove.
8. Unscrew the depth adjustment screw (39-44) from the ram. The ram can
then be pushed down and off the machine.
Note: Occasionally, the gib (27, located on the left hand side of the dove-tail
section) will drop off the machine when removing the ram.
To re-install the gib, hold the gib in place while installing the new ram. The gib
should be flush with the face of the casting, otherwise it will interfere with the
character dial during operation. There are three set screws (gib screws) with jam
nuts that hold the gib in place. The screws may have to be loosened in order to
install the new ram (28). When the new ram is in place, snug up the screws and
then tighten the jam nuts. Make sure that the ram (28) has free up and down
motion when you pull down on the operating handle (32-33). If the ram does not
travel freely, loosen the gib screws slightly and snug the jam nuts.
