Assemble Air Shut-Down Assembly
The holes for the cam pin handle and the retaining pins must be drilled,
using a 1/8" diameter drill, at the time a new service shaft or air shut-off
valve(s) is assembled. The valve(s) must be in the same plane within
.03" when in the stop position (flush with the housing face). Refer to
Figs. I and 2 and proceed as follows:
1. Place the valve(s) and spring in position in the housing (Fig. 2) and
slip the shaft in place. The shaft must extend .70" from the side of
the housing where the shut-down latch is assembled.
