The Legs and Pelvis Cont.
2. To replace a welded leg frame:
a. Remove any parts not welded to the legs and save them.
Disassemble as few mechanisms as possible, and keep
notes on the steps followed.
b. Cut the cable ties holding the plumbing harness to the
legs.
c. Pulling the air lines from any cylinder should not be
required, if it is, remember to note the air lines.
d. Unbolt the legs from the platform, and bolt on the new
ones in the same place as the old ones. If the mount
holes in the platform are over size, re-attach the new
leg frames to the platform, moving them as little as
possible from the old character's placement.
e. Re-attach all the parts, and set all critical
adjustments. If any problems occur refer to the
individual movement in the text for a more detailed
explanation.
3. The Clamp on type Rear Mount is similar to the welded one,
and all the instructions described above apply, except one.
If the pin hole is enlarged or elongated you can replace
only the rear mount, and not the whole leg frame. To replace
the rear mount: (See Drawing Page 3-073)
a. Detach the Body Turn cylinder's front and rear mount
from the Collar Pins, using an Allen wrench.
b. Cut the cable ties holding the plumbing harness to the
leg, be careful you don't cut any air lines.
c. The older shows have a piece of plastic pipe (A) between
the upper pillow block and the steel pelvis mount plate
(B). Loosen the set screws in the pillow blocks (C) and
the steel rear mount.
d. The newer shows do not have the plastic pipe (A) for
added support of the upper character. So, only loosen
the two pillow blocks, then, when your ready to lift the
chest, loosen the rear mount. Remove and replace the
rear mount in one step.
e. Replace the bad rear mount. Re-attach the parts and set
all critical adjustments.
