f. Start both rotor gears straight on the rotor shafts
with the right-hand helix gear on the right-hand
helix rotor and the left-hand helix gear on the
left-hand helix rotor, and the omitted serrations
in the gears in line with the omitted serrations on
the rotor shafts.
g. Thread an installer screw J 6270-8 in the end of
each rotor shaft until it bottoms. Place gear
installer J 6270-7 over the installer screw and
against the right-hand helix gear and gear
installer J 6270-6 over the installer screw and
against the left-hand helix gear. Then, thread a
nut on each installer screw (Fig. 15).
h. Place a clean folded cloth between the lobes of
the rotors, to prevent the rotors from turning.
Then, turn the nuts on the installer screws
clockwise as shown in Fig. 15 and draw the two
