I am trying to replace the key way in 3/4 in by 10 in limit swift shatft. The torque limit arbor does not look like the one you display on the parts page. It is just a hexagon nut. How do I replace the key way. I cannot loosen the torque limit arbor. There are threaded holes for set screws if the arbor but no sets screws are present?

To replace the key way in a RAMSET RAM 30 limit switch shaft when the torque limit arbor appears different and cannot be loosened, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Key Way: The parts list includes two key ways: - 1/4" x 5" Key Way (Part #50-263) - 3/16" x 3/4" Key Way (Part #50-265)
2. Access the Torque Limit Arbor: The arbor is listed as "Limited Arbor" (Part #50-128). If it appears different or cannot be loosened: - Check if any locking mechanism (e.g., Torque Limited Nut #50-131 or Tension Washer #50-130) is preventing movement. - Remove the Torque Limited Nut and associated washers carefully. - If the arbor is stuck, check for corrosion or damage and apply appropriate tools to extract it without forcing.
3. Remove the Old Key Way: - Once the arbor is removed or moved enough to expose the shaft, slide or tap out the existing key way.
4. Install the New Key Way: - Align the new key way (correct size as per your shaft) with the shaft slot. - Slide or gently tap it into place.
5. Reassemble: - Reinstall the torque limit arbor, nut, washers, and other components in reverse order.
Ensure all parts are aligned and secured properly before operating the gate.

RAMSET GATE ENTRANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: 1. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the controls away from children. 2. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians should use a separate entrance. 3. Always keep people, children and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation.
Opening the way… Important information for the homeowner Ask your technician about all the features of our new Ramset operator. Safety devices, such as reverse loops, phantom loops, photo eyes, or miller edges must be installed on your gate before the operator may be used. Ask your technician which safety devices best suit your safety needs.
