Pedestal & Rocker
NOTE:
The steel pin which secures the rocker assembly to the pedestal is specially hardened. Replace this pin only with a genuine S.U. part.
- Fit the rocker assembly to the pedestal and insert the steel pin. Position the center toggle so that with the inner rocker spindle in tension against the rear of the contact point the center toggle spring is above the spindle on which the white rollers run (see illustration).
- The above positioning is necessary to obtain the correct "throw-over" action of the rocker assembly. The rockers must be perfectly free to swing on the pivot pin and the arms must not bind on the legs of the pedestal. Rockers can be squared up with a pair of thin-nosed pliers.
- Assemble the terminal stud, washers and coned nut to the pedestal. Finally, add the end cover seal washer.
- Attach the pedestal to the coil housing with two screws. The condenser wire clip on the left-hand screw goes between the pedestal and ground terminal. A lock washer is not required when a condenser is used. Do not overtighten the screws, since the pedestal may crack. Do not attach the contact blade at this point.
