Tilt and Slide Mechanism Installation

TILT AND SLIDE MECHANISM INSTALLATION:
1. Clean the channel of dirt and old lubricant.

Illustration 7:

2. Lightly lubricate, using a small brush, the channel, in the areas indicated in Illustration 7, the front lever spring, (B, Illustration 6), both cam slots, (E, illustration 6), and the slot for the main lever pin with the approved lubricant, listed in "Parts Information".

3. The tilt and slide mechanism is supplied, (left or right side), as a replacement kit of sub assemblies, as shown in Illustration 6, and not in component form as shown in Illustration 5 The sub assemblies are shipped in a spare section of rail to keep them aligned correctly. This provides a convenient reference for proper assembly. The rail is not intended for installation and should be discarded.

4. Insert the front lever (A, Illustration 6) in the channel making sure that the front lever spring (B, Illustration 6), is in position.

5. When the front lever is fully located, rotate the bell crank lever arm, (C, Illustration 6), to pre-load the spring and then hold the arm against the lift mechanism, (D, Illustration 6).

6. Insert the dowels and the square reaction pin of the main lever, (E, Illustration 6), in the channel. The small arm of the bell crank lever arm can now locate against the channel to prevent the crank rotating.

7. Slowly release the bell crank lever arm to relax the spring.

8. Position the driven lever assembly, (F, Illustration 6), so that the forward dowel of the driven lever engages in the rear of the main lever cam slot (E) and the hook engages with the roller pin at the rear of the lift mechanism.

9. Press the assembly into the channel until the foot of the driven lever (F) is engaged in the channel and then engage the end of the drive cable, (G, Illustration 6), in the slot in the driven lever.

10. Place the support of the drain channel, (H, Illustration 6), on the pivot pin, (J, Illustration 6), at the end of the bell crank lever arm. Depress the lever to release the spring load and then push the assembly, plus the support, fully into the channel.

11. Reinstall the split locating pins of the mechanism cover through the lift mechanism and secure them with the wedges, (B, Illustration 5) and reinstall the white plastic stops, (A, illustration 5), on the track.

Illustration 8:

12. Move both mechanisms forward until they reach the "panel closed" position as follows:

- the mechanism is raised out of the channel and is parallel to the channel,

- the roller pin, A, illustration 8, is raised out of the circular cutout and is centered over the circular cutout in the channel,

- the pivot pin through the main lever, B, is aligned with the rib on the top of the sliding lever, C.

This is the position that the mechanisms are in when the sliding roof panel pops up flush with the roof.

13. When both mechanisms are in this setting position, insert the motor assembly to mesh with the drive cables and secure the motor with the mounting screws.

14. The SRCM should be re-timed, with the two dots aligned, (1, Illustration 9), and then installed on the assembly.

Illustration 4:

15. Using a drive key or screwdriver in the slot in the gearbox shaft, (indicated in Illustration 4), rotate the shaft 1/4 turn counter clockwise to reengage the motor drive so the shaft drops into position, level with the edge of the housing.

16. Reinstall the sliding roof assembly as in JTIS 4, Section 501-17, SRO 76.82.01.
