CAUTION

Wear safety glasses

when inserting the wear strip. It will be under tension, and could suddenly fly out during

assembly.

Place the drive wheel in the lower half of the control crank housing making sure the spacer rings are between it and
the wheel bearings if applicable.

Assemble the two brake jaws, brake bearing and brake arm. The angled sides of the brake jaws should be facing the
retract side of the control crank housing.

Place the upper control crank housing over the assembly while keeping them level and press them together.

Check that the control crank mechanism is properly assembled by turning the shaft. It should spin freely.

Check the operation of the friction brake while holding both halves of the control crank housing together tightly. If
it does not function correctly, check for faulty assembly or excessively worn brake jaws.

As applicable, mount the control crank housing on the frame or handle with the four bind head screws and stop nuts.
Secure the crank arm to the shaft using the 5/16 inch washer and hex bolt.

For reel type controls, secure the odometer cover to the mounting plate with two bind head screws.  Secure the
odometer's reset knob to the shaft by tightening the two Allen head screws, leaving clearance between the knob and
the cover.

After assembly, perform a check to ensure the control crank will turn freely.  Set the brake lever to the ON position
and attempt to turn the handle using moderate pressure.  Do not apply excessive force.  Run a section of the control
cable through the control crank to ensure the control crank operates easily without snags or resistance.

If applicable, make sure the odometer turns when the crank handle is turned. If the odometer does not function
during this test, check for improper assembly or damaged parts.

11)

Clean the 661 safety connector assembly using a brush and solvent. Ensure the movable jaws of the safety connector
are not excessively loose or worn where they swivel in the clevis pins. Examine the connector collar for bent or
loose connecting pins and excessive wear on the inner-mating surface. Examine the face of the connector body
where the control cable protrudes, and verify that long-term usage has not chamfered the area.

12)

Re-assembly of the Remote Control Unit:

Reattach the remote control conduits to the safety connector assembly.  Attach the EXPOSE sheath to the EXPOSE
side of the control crank assembly.

Lay the remote control conduits out in a straight line or a wide loop.  Feed the end of the control cable into the
conduit as far as it will go.  As the control cable is being fed into the remote control conduits, feel for any resistance
that indicates damage of the remote control conduit.

Turn the control crank handle in the RETRACT direction until the end of the control cable is protruding. Screw the
safety stop spring onto the end of the control cable approximately 2 inch (50 mm) from the end.

Connect the RETRACT control housing to the control crank housing. Retract the control cable fully, watching for
any binding that may indicate damage to the control housing.

If applicable, reset the odometer to zero with the control cable fully retracted.

Replace the protective rubber cap over the end of the safety connector assembly.
