MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
5Begin assembly of the locking mechanism by lightly coating all components with
Mount the locking mechanism plate horizontally in a vise or fixture with the plunger lock and retainer at a 12 o’clock position. (Note: Carefully mount the mounting plate in a vise or fixture so hands are free for the assembly procedure and no damage to the mounting plate will occur.)
The narrow end of the lock slide slot must be located at the 3 o'clock position. Locate the lock slide and return spring into the mating slot of the selector body.
Place the selector ring with the word CONNECT at the 12 o'clock position, over the selector body. Push the lock slide inward during placement of the selector ring for clearance. Doing so will allow the selector ring to rest flush on the selector body. Insert the
Place the tungsten sleeve with the large diameter facing downward, on the center of the lock slide. Place the compression spring over the sleeve.
Install the selector ring retainer into the selector ring. Verify that the three
While firmly holding the locking mechanism against the mounting plate, turn the plate over to expose the back side of the mounting plate. Install the four
6Perform functional safety testing of the Posilok locking mechanism by the following:
Mount the locking mechanism plate vertically in a vise or mounting fixture with the plunger lock at the 12 o'clock position.
Insert the ‘U- tool’ into the top and bottom holes of the selector assembly and rotate the selector ring toward the OPERATE position. Push the lock slide until the sleeve snaps into place.
While in the OPERATE position, wind out a short length of control cable and pass it through the front of the selector assembly. Attach a mock source assembly or the test jumper connector to the control cable connector and withdraw it into the selector assembly.
Pull on the section of control cable and confirm that the lock slide automatically secures the connector. The lock slide must snap shut in a fast and smooth motion when triggered. Verify the securement action of selector mechanism by attempting to both push and pull the mock source assembly out of the selector mechanism while in the EXPOSE, LOCK and CONNECT positions.
Rotate the selector mechanism back to the OPERATE position and push in the lock slide to ensure smooth operation and positive engagement. Attempt to push the lock slide towards the SECURED position to test for a positive engagement of the sleeve in the lock slide. If a smooth operation is not attained and/or the lock slide can be forced into the secured position by testing for positive engagement, disassemble and thoroughly
Thoroughly inspect all components for rough edges or burrs, etc. which could cause jamming or irregular operation. Replace parts as necessary,
