A scale to accurately judge difficulty is an important part in any proper assembly. The table below (Difficulty Scale) is designed to give the user an accurate idea of each step's difficulty. The chart is divided into five different categories ranging from 1 (easily achieved) to 5 (specialist required). Any step can be placed into the appropriate difficulty based on one, or all of the following: tools required, experience and or physical effort.

Product Explanation (Product Archaeology)

This component of Product Archaeology includes an overview of the product's assembly followed by additional sections which document important mechanisms found in the product and propose design revisions for product improvement.

Product Reassembly

With the reassembly of the Homelite fluid pump product, we're interested in more than just how to assemble the product. Certain information regarding the product's assembly will be introduced in the following preface to assembly before the assembly process is then presented.

Preface (Assembly)

With the assembly of this product, certain measures are of interest. In the assembly how-to guide that follows, speculation regarding the product's original assembly method and a difficulty scale will be used to document this respective information. In this section, the above-mentioned information will be formally introduced and defined.

Original Assembly Methods

INTRODUCE AND DEFINE THE NOMENCLATURE:

  • [H] BY HAND
  • [R] BY ROBOT??
  • [O] OTHER - TO BE DESCRIBED IN REFERENCED NOTES

WE WILL PROBABLY USE A TABLE AS IN "CONNECTION TYPES" FROM GATE 2

A scale to accurately judge difficulty is an important part in any proper assembly. The table below (Difficulty Scale) is designed to give the user an accurate idea of each step's difficulty. The chart is divided into five different categories ranging from 1 (easily achieved) to 5 (specialist required). Any step can be placed into the appropriate difficulty based on one, or all of the following: tools required, experience and or physical effort.

Common Tasks of Assembly

COPIED STRAIGHT FROM THE DISASSEMBLY

MAY NEED EDITS / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION!

Threaded Fasteners:
A great majority of the procedures detailed in the how-to guide involve separating threaded connections. Whenever the part to be removed is referred to as a nut, bolt, or screw it may be assumed that the connection is threaded.
All threaded connections in this product are right-hand threaded. To remember how to disassemble a right-handed threaded connection, it may be helpful to refer to the mnemonic, "Righty-tighty, lefty-loosy," where right and left determine which way to rotate the fastener when looking at the head of the fastener. Right corresponds with rotating toward the right, or clockwise (CW), whereas left corresponds with rotating toward the left, or counterclockwise (CCW).
Using Sockets & Socket Wrenches
Whenever instructed to use a socket to remove a fastener, it may not be explicitly stated that a socket wrench is to be used. In these cases, it is to be assumed that for a 3/8 in drive socket, a 3/8 in drive socket wrench is required (and similarly for 1/2 in drive). It is important also to be sure that ratcheting socket wrenches are set to ratchet in the proper rotational sense to remove a fastener. Become familiar with the ratcheting socket wrench before attempting to use it in this disassembly process.
The Use of Required Tool & Equipment
It is imperative that for all tools and equipment utilized in this disassembly process, the user must be fully aware of proper usage. If the user requires information regarding proper use of any tools, he/she should consult the tools' owner's manuals for proper usage procedures.
