Before you start
- Excessive clamping pressure will distort the Motor Housing and make motor removal extremely difficult. Do not insert the hammer case end of the Motor Housing more than 1" (25 mm) into the vise jaws
- Make certain the Lever is in the center position to avoid jamming the Reverse Lock Plunger (30) when the Reverse Valve Assembly is removed
Procedure
- Lightly clamp Motor Housing Assembly (26) in leather-covered or copper-covered vise jaws with Handle Assembly (1) upward.
- Using a hex wrench, unscrew and remove the four Handle Cap Screws (15). Lift assembled handle and Handle Gasket (17) off Motor Housing and set them aside.
- Lift Motor Clamp Washer(s) (16) off Housing.
- Move Reverse Lever (12) to center position and using a drift pin to push from below, grasp Lever and lift Reverse Valve Assembly (13) out of Housing.
