I.
Install the bearing bracket. Start bracket onto the
two stator studs.
Push the bracket back until the stator studs are
through the bracket and it seats into the ribs of the
gear case.
Start the two nuts on the stator studs and turn them
until the bearing bracket is seated (Fig. 41).
Fig. 41 Tighten the two nuts on the stator studs to seat the
bearing bracket.
J.
The armature should always be checked for end
play. Armature should turn freely with minimal
end play.
On older models - after the thrust bearing
assembly has been seated properly and proper
amount of spacing washers placed at the rear, there
should only be a perceptible amount of end play to
assure free operation of the armature.
If there is too much end play, add another thin
washer.
To do this, remove the bearing bracket and add
the washer to the armature shaft, then reassemble
the bearing bracket into the gear case-motor
housing.
K.
If the old brushes are more than 5/16” long,
assemble them in the brush holders.
From the back of the unit, put the brush marked
“right” in the right side of brush holder. Be sure the
side marked “up” is at the top.
Push the brush in and lock it in place with a brush
holder screw cap (Fig. 42).
Put left hand brush in the mixer in the same way.
