between the gear housing and motor
body.
3. Rotate gear housing to the proper
orientation without removing motor from
the housing.
For the side switch models, rotate gear
housing 180 degrees in the direction
indicated in Fig 12, so the switch is 90

screw must stay with the quick release
lever when re-attaching gear housing for
