shown in Figure 19.

c Insert the Air Locker into the seal housing by gently lowering it into

the bearing cup with a gentle twisting motion. This will allow the O-
rings to engage gently.

c Rotate the Air Locker a few turns to make sure it rotates freely and

smoothly.

c Carefully assemble the deep half of the clamshell over the top of

the Air Locker.

c Bolt the clamshell assembly closed.
c Check that some backlash can be felt between the ring and pinion

gears. No backlash would be an early indication of incorrect shim
thickness.
