Operational Adjustments
Adjust the Armature Link so that the interposer
clears the latch bracket by .005" - .010" with the
magnet energized.
REPEAT CYCLES MAY BE CAUSED BY:
a. The armature sea ling to the core. Adjust the
armature pivot plate for .002" - .005" armature
to yoke clearance. It is desirable to maintain
the adjustment close to the high limit to insure
that the armature does not contact the core.
b. I nsuffi ci ent interposer restori ng acti on (2. 16)
c. I nterposer latch bi ndi ng or spri ng off.
d. Release lever slips off cam wheel.
The cam wheel mounting stud has been extended so as
to provide greater release lever bite on the cam wheel.
The improved bite will eliminate extra cycles of the'
Operational cams caused by the release lever slipping
off the si de of the clutch whee I.

OPERATIONAL INTERPOSER LINKS
The i lIustrati on be low shows the operati ona I i nter-
poser clevis and armature link. Each time one of the
operational magnets is energized, the armature pulls
on this link, which in turn pulls the interposer from
its rest position and activates it. Each one of these
Ii nks must be adjusted for proper un latchi ng c lear-
ance. A prob lem has been encountered where the
lock nut, when tightened against the clevis, tends to
loosen very rapid Iy due to a burr on the bottom of the
clevis. The illustration shows this burr and how the
locI<! nut contacts it, giving it a very small locking
surface.
