NOTE

Be careful when handling the new ball bearings. Do not drop them or
force them onto the shaft.

Attach the code disc (number 7 in Figure 112 on page 189) back
onto the shaft. The disc has to be positioned so that it does not
touch the opto-coupler on the printed circuit board (6). Tighten the
fixing screw of the code disc.

is in place. It is recommended that you replace the O-ring with a
new one after each opening.
