Use “Rheolube 362” lubricant during following reassembly
procedures. Use of other lube types may cause operational
problems under certain low temperature conditions.
1. Apply a light film of lubricant to the full length of the
slider block shaft. Fill entire slot area of slider block
with lubricant (the area which engages gear pin).
Also fill the cavity next to the gear with lubricant
(cavity adjacent to motor shaft hole).
2. Rotate gear to position the gear pin at 90 degrees
from the slider block shaft centerline (see illustration
below). Install slider block by nesting the block shaft
in the recessed pockets in base housing.
Note: It may be necessary to move the slider block in one
direction or the other to engage the gear pin.
