REMOVAL
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Tip the unit over and remove the drive belt.
3. Remove the dust cap from the under side
of pulley.
4. Remove retaining ring and washer from
end of drive shaft.
5. Firmly pull lower cam off the drive shaft
splines, then slide the other parts off the
shaft. This will also allow access to the
brake assembly for removal.
REPLACEMENT
After reassembling the components on the
drive shaft, it will probably be necessary to pull
down on the shaft to take the end play out of it
before the thrust washer and retaining ring can
be reinstalled.
NOTE: Each time the cams are reassembled
on the drive shaft, the point in the cam rise
where the brake disengages the stator should
be checked and adjusted as necessary.
Reference marks have been molded around
the bottom outer edge of the lower cam as an
aid in checking the point of brake disengage­
ment (Figure 7-5). Each mark, from right to
left, represents approximately .010 of an inch
cam rise.
To Check Brake Disengagement:
1. Manually rotate the drive pulley in a slow
counterclockwise direction until the brake
starts to release and the transmission be­
gins to turn (Figure 7-5).
Counting the reference marks on the lower
cam from right to left, the pulley hub shoul­
der should be positioned between refer­
ence marks 9 and 4 with 6 being the
median (Figure 7-5).
If the position of the pulley hub shoulder /s
not within these parameters and the brake has
started disengaging, adjustment is required.
To Adjust Brake Disengagement:
1. If the position of the pulley hub shoulder
is less than 4 reference marks, remove the
standard (.062 thickness) thrust washer
and replace it with a thinner (.032 thick­
ness) thrust washer (part number
35-2132). Recheck disengagement.
2. If the position of the pulley hub shoulder
is more than 9 reference marks, add a
35-2132 thrust washer (.032) to the
standard thrust washer and recheck
disengagement.
