(6) If removed, reassemble stator lead clips
(15) to stator (14) leads. Reassemble
rectifier bridge (16), stator assembly (14),
diode trio (13), lock washer (12), screw
(11), make lead connections and
assemble three lock washers (10) and
nuts (9).
CAUTION
Do not overtighten vise when holding
rotor assembly (8) for reassembly of
items (7 through 2).
(7) Place rotor assembly (8) in a vise and
tighten just-enough to keep it from turning
when tightening nut (2). Assemble drive
end frame (7), outside collar (6), fan (5),
pulley (4), lock washer (3), and nut (2).
Tighten nut (2) to 40-60 foot-pounds (5.5-
8.3 kg meters).
(8) Remove rotor assembly from vise and
