I-5 For ASSA/Medeco/Yale interchangeable/removable cores, the tailpiece
must be prepped for the desired length before installation.
I-6 Notice the score marks on the flat portion
of the ASSA/Medeco/Yale tailpiece. Using
the diagram to the right, locate the score
mark on your tailpiece that matches your
core prep for the intended application,
and break the tailpiece off accordingly.
Note: Using two pairs of pliers, break the tailpiece
to the desired length of the intended application by
holding one pair of pliers on the good side of the
score mark and a second pair on the other side
of the score mark. Slowly move the 2nd pair of
pliers up and down until the unneeded portion of
the tailpiece breaks free.
I-7 Insert the ASSA/Medeco/Yale tailpiece
(e) vertically into the outside lever as
shown. Make certain that you rotate the
tailpiece slightly so that it will align with the
interchangeable/removable core. Insert the
interchangeable/removable core into the
outside lever.
Note: To remove the outside lever from the
outside unit assembly, follow steps below.
I-8 Remove the interchangeable/removable core.
Then remove the tailpiece (e).
Note: You may want to use needle nose
pliers for some tailpieces.
I-9 Insert the lever release tool (d) into the small hole
(f) under lever as shown. Gently push lever catch
up until it clicks. Remove tool, then remove outside
lever (b).
