Next, install
the Rainbow vacuum's plastic baffle plate using the four screws. YOU
STILL NEED TO INSTALL THE SPIDER AND ITS RETAINING NUT BEFORE TESTING
THE VACUUM.
Then install
the Motor gasket and the Spider, being sure to first put in the aluminum
plate that goes under the spider. You can just see part of this plate
in this image, indicated by the red arrows. NOTE: You can install
the nut that secures the spider (see image below), and test the vacuum
before installing the metal flange and gluing on the rubber gasket. It
would probably be best to test the motor's operation before gluing the
gasket in permanently.
Next, use
contact adhesive (not rubber cement) to install the rubber baffle gasket,
applying contact adhesive to both surfaces, as per the instructions on
the adhesive container.
Next, replace the brass nut that secures the spider, using the large screwdriver and a wrench.
Finally, reinstall
the Separator basket using the brass cap nut. Make sure everything spins
without any parts touching together and rubbing. You are all done replacing
the motor bearings on your Rainbow D4 vacuum.
When you use
your Rexair Rainbow vacuum it should sound smooth, without any unusual
noises.
