Malselection may be caused by the latch poshers contacting
their latch extensions when an unselected pusher is against its
armature. There should be a minimum of .002" clearance
(Fig. 9) between the pusher and the latch extension when the
pusher is against its armature. To check this adjustment, turn
machine power
off, trip the cycle clutch, and hand cycle a
few degrees through a
cycle. The pusher cam follower should
be on the low dwell of the pusher cam.
