(fig. 23.4)
a. General. The preferred disassembly sequence is shown in b

for replacement purposes. Do not attempt to replace any part until
it is completely accessible.
b. DisassembIy.
(1) Remove the bottom cover (1) which is secured by four screws

(2) Remove hexagonal nut (4) and lockwasher (5) and separate
the mounting clamp and clamp post assembly (items 6 through
11) from the base plate assembly (35).
(3) Tap out the roll pin (6), and remove, as required, the re-
maining parts of the mounting clamp and clamp post assembly
(7 through 11).
(4) Remove the top cover (12) which is secured by five screws
( 13) and flat washers (14).
Caution: Be very careful when removing the top cover to
avoid breaking.
(5) Variable resistor (15), switch (16) and the diode (17) are
mounted to the top cover. Unsolder as required. Tag the
wires to insure proper replacement. Remove the knob (36),
hexagonal nut (37), and flat washer (38) that secure the
variable resistor; remove the collar (39) and hexagonal nut
(40) to remove the switch.
(6) With a screwdriver, slip the drivebelt (18) off the motor
pulley (25).
(7) Remove three retaining rings (19), and lift off three rollers
