right side of the mechanism.
Remove two wires from TB1 and TB2 and pull the wires
through the support bracket toward the close coil.
Remove the 5/16 x 3 ¼ in. hex head bolt, lock washer
and spacer that hold the coil in place. Be careful to
capture the two fiber insulating washers behind the coil.
N otee: The 5/16 x 3 ¼ in. bolt is made of silicon bronze for
magnetic purposes and must never be replaced with a steel bolt.
Slide the coil out of its bracket (to the left) and feed the
wires through. Remove the metal core from the center
of the coil.
Install new wire markers on the new coil leads. Polarity is
not an issue.
Insert the metal core into the center of the new coil.
Fish the coil wires through the cut out and slide coil into
the bracket while gently pulling the leads.
Insert the bolt, lock washer and spacer and place the
two fiber washers on the bolt when it exits the coil
(one at a time and screw bolt into washers). Screw bolt
into threaded insert in bracket and tighten. Do not over
tighten!
Fish wires through to terminal block. Connect wires to
terminal block TB1 and TB2. Install tie wraps to hold wire
