Preferably, the manufacturers of the Simplex would like users of Simplex equipment to have this change made either at the distributor's service station, or at the Simplex factory, but where either of these courses is impossible and a replacement is imperative, it must be understood that force and strength must not be applied in taking off or putting on the intermittent sprocket, depending rather upon patience and utmost care in accomplishing and completing a most satisfactory operation. Remove the intermittent movement complete as described. Loosen two screws S-125-B, P.l and making sure that these screws are entirely loosened, grasp intermittent sprocket (guarding particularly against springing shaft) and pull straight out, in this way removing bushing, star, shaft, and sprocket in one unit from the casing.
