INTRODUCTION
MECHANICAL REPAIR
Description: The following text deals with the mechanical aspects
of the show, and is Only to be used after Trouble
Shooting the problem to a specific movement. Each
part in this section will contain drawings and
instructions of how to repair the movement in
question, whether the movement is typical to all
characters or is special to only one character. The
object of this section is to get the movement into
proper operating condition. Critical adjustments will
be set after the movement operates properly. (See
Pages 3-094 thru 3-135) It is suggested that if a
weld breaks, or a metal part breaks into two pieces,
not to have it welded in the field. It will probably
be cheaper and easier to replace the bad part.
Removal of all art pieces (Fiberglass Bodies, Duct
Hose Arm Covers, Fur and Foam pieces, etc.) are only
to be removed enough to allow easy access to the
movements in question. (Refer to Pages 3-136 thru
3-187, Cosmetics for further information) Air down
the character, for any repair steps requiring removal
of cylinders from the character, unless noted in the
text. Save any Retro-Fit drawings you receive. Three
notes to be followed in all repair steps are:
Contents:
One; NEVER attempt to repair a problem unless you are
SURE that it is the problem. (If it's not broke, don't
fix it!)
Two; NEVER attempt to disassembly anything without the
PROPER tools.
Three; ALWAYS note the disassembly steps you followed.
