tightening spacer nut.
26. Check alignment of tapped holes in spacer nut (37)
with holes in output gear (39). Use two 9/64
CAUTION
When using replacement parts, make sure you have
correct spring. (Part No. SK-6415-18). Red spring

(19) should be folded up and behind common terminal of
switches (16). See Figure 6-3.
b. Assemble limit switch nuts (23) on limit
switch shaft (22) (care should be taken not to
cross-thread nuts). Nut hubs should be facing
away from each other. See Figure 6-3.
c. Assemble worm (24) on limit switch shaft
(22). Unthreaded hub on worm should be away
