3. If the gap measured at step 2 is approx. 0.65 mm, do the following to reduce the
gap. (If the 0.6 mm leaf can be inserted, do steps 1) to 5) below.)
1) Check that the motor brake release lever is locked.
2) Loosen hex nut (2) (3 places) so the gap between the moving core and fixed
core is 0.15 to 0.3 mm.
3) Tighten hex nut (1) (3 places) so the gap is 0.15 to 0.30 mm. (Confirm that the
0.2 mm leaf can be inserted, but the 0.3 mm leaf cannot.)
4) Tighten hex nut (2).
