4.Taking care not to disconnect any wiring, remove the power switch and the double cord clamp (Figure 2). Let the switch hang to the side for now.
Note: The switch is fastened in place with one screw above the box and one below it. Avoid removing the two screws on the face of the switch box, as this will open the switch box cover, exposing the wiring inside.
5.Remove the hex nut and bolt shown in Figure 2. With help from another person, lift the upper arm off the base casting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure all mating surfaces of riser block are clean before proceeding.
6.Install the riser block and replace the upper arm, as shown in Figure 3, using (1) 5⁄8"-11 x 8 1⁄2" hex bolt, (2) 5⁄8" flat washers, and (1) 5⁄8"-11 hex nut.
Note: Make sure the arrow on the riser block points up and faces behind the machine. Also, make sure alignment pins fit completely into holes during installation.
