Torque each bolt (M6 x 1) to 13 N∙m (10
ft-lb) +/-0.7 N∙m (0.5 ft-lb).
E.
Using a 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) thick feeler
gauge, verify that a gap is present between
the rotor and the armature face on both
sides of the brake pole as shown in

and
Figure
Note:
Due to the way the rotor and the
armature faces wear (peaks and valleys) it
is sometimes difficult to measure the gap
accurately.
