2. Removing the motor
(1) Use a hex. bar wrench to turn the Cap [45]
inside the Wire Roll Support [41]. The Cap [45]
comes off together with the M5 Nut [44].
(2) The Wire Roll Support [41] is press-fitted to the
Motor [39]. Use a large bearing puller to remove
it. For easy removal of the support, use the two
side holes of the Wire Roll Support [41] and the
end of the Motor [39] shaft. The Wire Roll
Support [41] is in contact with the ball bearing
of the Motor [39] as shown in Fig. 4.

Reverse the disassembly procedure to reassemble the Model CG 25SC. However, pay particular attention
to the following.
1. Notices on reassembly
(1) Press-fit the Wire Roll Support [41] to the Motor [39] until the
Wire Roll Support [41] contacts the ball bearing of the Motor
[39].
NOTE: Do not press-fit with excessive force. Otherwise,
the Wire Roll Support [41] may be broken.
After press-fitting, put the Cap [45] on the M5 Nut [44] and
tighten it to the shaft of the Motor [39].
NOTE: Do not press-fit with excessive force. Otherwise,
the Cap [45] may fall off.
NOTE: The wire roll support of the Model CG 25SC is
similar to that of the Model CG 30SC but they are
not interchangeable (13.5-mm portion is slightly
different in shape.) Do not mismount.
NOTE: Replace the Wire Roll Support [41] with new one
without fail when replacing the Motor [39].
(2) Mount the Lock Off Button [12] and Spring (B) [14] into Handle (L) [13], and then put Handle (L) [13]
and Handle (R) [5] together aligning the position of Spring (B) [14].
NOTE: When putting Handle (R) [5] and Handle (L) [13] together, completely fit the internal
wires into the grooves of the handle ribs so that the internal wires are not pinched by
the handle bodies.
NOTE: The position of the Lock Off Button [12] is predetermined. Fit the protrusion of the Lock
Off Button [12] in the recessed portion of Handle (L) [13].

•Tapping Screw ST3 x 6 [30]<32>-----------------------------------------------0.4 to 0.6 N•m (4 to 5 kgf•cm)
•Tapping Screw ST4 [4][10]<1><11>-------------------------------------------1.1 to 1.3 N•m (11 to 13 kgf•cm)
•M5 Nut [44]<52>--------------------------------------------------------------------2.0 to 3.0 N•m (20 to 30 kgf•cm)
Upon completing disassembly and repair, measure the insulation resistance and conduct an insulation test
(dielectric strength test).
Insulation resistance: 7 Mȍor more
Dielectric strength: 4,000 VAC for 1 minute, with no abnormalities
After no-load operation for five minutes, the no-load current value at a frequency of 50 Hz should be as
follows:
Model CG 25SC: 2.2 A (max.)
Model CG 30SC: 2.3 A (max.)
Screw tightening torque
