3. Install the half of the hub adapter with the
setscrews onto the outboard spindle shaft
shown in Figure 3.
4. Tighten all three setscrews.
5. Replace the lathe cover and secure the bot-
tom knob. Note—You may have to bore out
the lathe cover spindle hole to a larger diam-
eter for the hub adapter to fit through and
operate correctly.
6. Install the outer half of the hub adapter back
into place (Figure 4) and install and tighten
the cap screws.
To install the pivot connector:
Remove the pivoting rod connector from the draw
tube assembly by removing the 8mm cap screw
and threading it onto the replacement stud as
shown in Figure 5. Make sure you have replaced
the lathe cover!
This pivot will allow the locking yoke to be
secured to the lathe while providing a range of
motion to engage the locking mechanism. The
pivot connector should be secured tightly to the
stud and the pivot pin should be in a horizontal
position, allowing the pivot to move up and down.

To install the hub adapter to the outboard
spindle
1. Remove the hub adapter from the draw tube
assembly.
2. Unscrew the cap screws, shown in Figure 2,
holding the two pieces of the hub adapter
together. Note—The hub adapter halves are
machined for a very tight fit. Once the cap
screws are removed, hit them apart with a
rubber mallet.
