13.Using the two #8 x 3/4 pan head screws provided, attach the new handle in the same way as the old one was removed.

14.Inspect motor support cone on yoke, and cone on motor for lubrication on contacting surfaces. These surfaces should be gener- ously lubricated. If necessary lubricate with lithium white grease (not supplied).

15.Reinstall motor on motor support. Line up the index pin with the slot in the index plate. Reinstall the .505 x 7/8 x 1/16 washer and 1/2-13 locknut. Take care not to drop washer in opening of motor. Tighten nut until the bevel lock lever will lock the motor in any position when in the lock position. With the bevel lock lever in the unlocked position move the motor to any of the five index posi- tions.

If motor does not index securely, the adjust- ment is too loose.

Caution: On electronic models be sure bevel control unit is engaged with motor index plate before installing washer and lock nut.
