Figure 16. Now thread the brake knob into the threaded hole in
the handle. Do not tighten the brake knob until it’s needed. Use
this when heavy routing is planned.

Figure 17. Attach the remaining coupling on the other end of the
flex shaft and then to the lift rod. Make sure to align the set screw
with the flat on the rod before tightening the screw. Use the crank
handle to turn the flex shaft and coupling. If you need to turn the
lift rod, keep your hands clear while using the lift wrench to lower
the motor to the bottom end of its travel. Keep the wrench en-
gaged which will take the pressure off the lift rod making it easy
to turn by hand.

TESTING THE CRANK ASSEMBLY

Test the crank assembly by slowly turning the handle and watch-
ing the round scale on the top of the lift. If the scale isn’t turning
when you’re rotating the crank handle then one of the set screws
isn’t tight. It’s most likely to be one of the two set screws lock-
ing the flex shaft to the coupling. Double check that those two
screws are tight. After that make sure that the set screws in the
handle and couplings are against the flats on each shaft.
