    drive nut. Using ( fig 6 )  #16 bushing and #20 nut, have small shoulders which center # 17

    and #18 washers. These washers are not the same. Compare washers to box A and box B

    before installation. Place #17 housing bushing washer on #16 housing bushing. Place and

    hold these pieces in the U shaped height rod boss found on the side of the motor housing

    figs ( 1 & 6 ) Place #18 drive nut washer on #16 housing bushing, Thread #20 long drive nut

    onto #16 housing bushing until finger tight. These parts will be tightened securely later.

 4. Using ( fig’s 3 & 4 ) ) The threaded height rod hole must be

     enlarged, and drilled through the base. Drill slowly using a

    smoothest possible plunge action, and helps prevent binding and chattering

    during use.

    #14 steel 3/16" washer, one #15 retainer, Cut #1 mainshaft to 9, 1/8" overall length,

    red grease. Slide #7 down #1 mainshaft. From bottom,slide #1 mainshaft through drilled

    threaded height rod hole.  Place base upright, drop ( #14 ) 3/16"  washer down #1 mainshaft.

    Set #15 retainer, teeth up on top of #1 mainshaft. Use #13 hollow spring guide flange up to

    start and push #15 retainer down mainshaft, until #15 retainer is tight.
