PART REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT, Continued
3. Should it be necessary to
replace or service the base pawl
(11), the tension handle
assembly, windlass shaft, and
the ratchet wheel must be
removed first. See instructions
on previous pages. Once the
ratchet wheel is removed,
remove the base pawl aligning
set screw (3). The base pawl
and spring can now be removed
and inspected.
4. Before reassembling the tool,
clean all parts thoroughly in
solvent and allow to dry
completely. All moving parts
should be lubricated with light
machine oil.
5. To reassemble the tool, install the pawl spring, set screw, and base pawl into the base. Next,
assemble the ratchet wheel, tension handle assembly, and windlass shaft. See instructions
on previous pages. To install the gripper shaft, use the following procedure:
a. Ensure that the gripper release cam (24) is pinned to the cam push rod (27) with the roll
pin (25).
b. Slide cam push rod spring (28) onto the cam push rod.
c. Set gripper release cam assembly into the appropriate position in the base with end of
the cam push rod extending through the hole in the base.
d. Set pawl cam (6) in position in the base.
e. Insert the gripper shaft into the base and through the gripper release cam. The gripper
shaft will only go part way through the gripper release cam.
f. Pull the gripper release cam to the full rear position, see Figure 4.
g. Insert a screwdriver between the gripper release cam and the base. Use the screwdriver
to pry the gripper release cam towards the rear of the tool. At the same time, rotate the
gripper shaft until the square part of the gripper shaft slides into the square hole in the
gripper release cam.
NOTE: When sliding the gripper shaft into the gripper release cam, ensure that the wide
radius on the gripper shaft is facing down.
