7. Check the clearance between the entire gatero-
tor blade and the shelf, rotate the gaterotor
to find the tightest spot. It should be between
0.003-0.004" (0.076-0.102 mm). Make ad-
justments, if necessary. It is preferable to shim
the gaterotor blade looser rather than tighter
against the shelf, see Figure 5-49.
8. After clearance has been set install a new O-ring
on bearing housing cover, install cover and tight-
en the bolts to the recommended torque value.
9. Install side cover with a new gasket. Tighten the
bolts to the recommended torque value. The
unit can then be evacuated and leak checked.
Check for 0.003-0.004" (0.076- 0.102 mm) clearance
between gaterotor blade and partition.
