2.Please note that the rod connector is sup- plied with jam nuts. It may be necessary to remove these nuts to allow for the proper fit of the assembly on some lathes.

3.Install the handle to the yoke. NoteÑIf you have trouble positioning the locking yoke so it is aligned with the draw tube in the next two steps, adjust the length of the connecting rod by threading it more or less into the pivot connectors and try again.

4.Make sure the locking yoke and the rod con- nector are secured to the mounting stud and the pivoting rod connecter.

5.Position the locking yoke back inline with the setscrew holes on the draw tube assembly, then secure the setscrews and the jam nuts as shown in Figure 10.

6.Thread the setscrews on both sides of the locking yoke into the holes on both sides of the bearing housing. Make sure the setscrews are completely and evenly engaged into the holes, without being tight.

7.The yoke should have no play from side-to- side, but still pivot freely. Tighten the jam nuts.

8.The ideal locked position for the collet closer is shown in the completed assembly diagram in Figure 11.
