Installing Dr Pulley Slider Weights

1. Remove the Dr Pulley Slider weights from the package and place them in the orientation shown above. (Note: Some certain styles of Dr Pulley Slider Weights have different shapes than shown above and have a unique orientation inside the variator. Specific instructions will be included with your order for those particular styles.)

2. Remove the variator top plate and set aside.

3. Hold the slider weight in the position shown, with the angled flat sides to the top, and the rounded side at the bottom. For this first weight, the slider weight size should be printed on the side facing you (the slider weight size is 23×18 in this photo).

4. Place the slider weight into the ramp on the left side of the variator as it lies on the work surface. The rounded sides of the weight go into the bottom of the ramp, The angled side should face up and out of the variator.

5. Continue to insert the sliders into the variator, making sure to keep installing them in the correct orientation.

6. Place the variator ramp plate back on the variator, matching the three plastic guides around the edge.

7. Your slider installation is now complete.

Note: When installing the variator back into your vehicle, hold the variator and top ramp plate as one piece, replace the center dowel pin bushing, and put it all back on the drive shaft, pushing the entire assembly all the way to the back. Keep pressure on the variator and top plate at all times. If the top plate should open even a small amount, one or more of the slider weights could tip over out of position and performance will be negatively impacted.
