NOTICE
To avoid damage to the rotor or equipment, do not
remove the shaft (1a) from the motor (1). Removing
the shaft will cause the rotor balls to dislodge from
the rotor and the rotor will not function properly.
5. Remove the remaining diaphragm (13).
If the first loosened diaphragm (13) is on the
side of the shaft (1a) with the wrench flat:
a. Use an applicable wrench to firmly hold the flat
of the shaft (1a) in place. At the same time,
securely grip the outer edge of the opposite
diaphragm (13) and rotate counterclockwise to
loosen.
If the first loosened diaphragm (13) is opposite
the wrench flat on the shaft (1a):
a. Follow the procedure to lubricate the rotor in
your related motor manual to access the flat of
the shaft (1a). See Related Manuals, page 2.
b. After the flat of the shaft (1a) is accessible, use
an applicable wrench to firmly hold the flat of
the shaft (1a) in place. At the same time,
securely grip the outer edge of the opposite
diaphragm (13) and rotate counterclockwise to
loosen.
