Assemble by reversing the disassembly procedure. (Fig. 6 of the previous page)
Note: Lever 94 for DUR183L must be assembled to Joint 24 as drawn in Fig. 7.
Housing set and Pipe B for DUR183L must be assembled as drawn in Fig. 8.
ASSEMBLING
(1) When disassembling Grip set, be sure to secure each component
in place as drawn in Fig. 10. Face the oval hole of Pipe complete/
Pipe A complete upwards, and bring Grip set or Spacer 24 to
the near side of Hanger, then complete their securing.
(2) Fit two Compression springs 4 into the spaces in Lever base so that
their rolls can be hooked with four projections of Lever base.
(Fig. 11)
When removing two Compression springs 4 from Lever base,
use 1R268 as drawn in Fig. 9.
Pulling the compression spring 4 forcibly could cause deforming.

(3) To assemble Lock off lever to Lever base;
while enlarging Lever base by fingers carefully (Fig. 12) and holding two Compression springs 4 by the another finger
(Fig. 13), insert the projection of Lock off lever in between two Compression springs 4 through the hole of Lever base.
(Fig. 14).
(4) When assembling Grip set to Pipe;
(A) assemble Lead cover and Lever base section shown in Fig. 14 to Grip set L (Fig. 15), then set Pipe, and then,
set Switch lever and Torsion spring 10 in place. (Fig. 16)
(B) Provisionally tighten Clamp 24 to Grip L with M5x18 Hex socket head bolt so that the distance between Controller
section and Grip set is 70 ± 2mm. (Fig. 17) Be sure to place Clamp 24 in between the ribs of Grip set At this time.
(Fig. 18)
(C) Loosely fasten Grip R to Grip L with six 4x18 Tapping screws.
(D) While adjusting the distance between Controller section and Grip set to 70 ± 2mm again and aligning their positions
in a line (Fig. 19 of the next page), tighten two M5x18 Hex socket head bolts. (Fig. 17)
