The PC board power supply fuse, shown in
Figure D.2, is a 3/10 Amp fuse. It is located
on the control PC board and is designed to
protect the DC-regulated power supply from
overload. This fuse will blow if a PC board
component fails and overloads the 24 VDC
power supply. A second 3/10 Amp fuse is
added to the control board on newer models
to protect the board against faulted remote
switches.

MS Lubricant. For access to the gears in the
first chamber, remove the adapter plate and
motor assembly as shown in Figure D.3. To
lubricate the gears in the second chamber,
remove one of the pipe plugs and feed
grease until it comes in contact with the
bevel gear teeth. Then, rotate the output
shaft by hand until all teeth are lubricated.
