6. Slide the V-Belt over the drum (64" for large drum; 59" for small
drum) and hang it from the motor pulley (or slip clutch). Push
down on the motor enough to slide the V-Belt onto the drum.
7. Pull about 12" of cable out beyond the front post.
8. Slide the Flexitube, spring end first, onto the cable and into the
inner drum. (See Figure 3)
Figure 3
9. Then guide the knurled portion
of the Flexitube spring into the
front post clamp. (See photo)
10. With one hand on the cable in
front of the front post, push the
cable down to secure the Flexi-
tube in position within the clamp.
Make sure the hole in the Flexi-
tube seats properly over the
guide pin in the base of the
clamp.
11. Then close the clamp and tighten the knob with your other hand.
12. Slide the Power Cable Feed over the cable and align the bolt
with the hole in the front post and the guide pins with the holes
on the clamp. When flush with the front post, secure with knob
and washer behind the front post.
13. Slide the belt guard over the stud on top of the motor and tighten
the knob.
MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE!
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that all bear-
ings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is particularly important where
machine comes in contact with sand, grit and other abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables, be
sure they are clean and well oiled. This not only
provides running lubrication but greatly extends
the life of the cables as well. Some users periodi-
cally pour oil directly into the drum. Then, as the
drum turns, the cables get complete lubrication.
Our SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this purpose,
since it not only lubricates the cables, it deodor-
izes them as well.
FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is recommended that the
feed be flushed with fresh water followed by a light oiling of the mov-
ing parts. No disassembly is normally required. Failure to feed can
usually be traced to the following possibilities:
DIRT ACCUMULATION
Over time, dirt can harden enough to stop roller rotation. Flushing with
water followed by liberal oiling can usually restore function. If disas-
sembly is required, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the feed pressure knob, cover screws, top cover, ball
bearing and ball bearing holder. Note the positioning of these
parts to ease re-assembly. Remove the swing pin from the car-
rier. The top roller assembly can now be removed.
2. Remove the end caps and thrust washers from the bottom hous-
ing cylinders. Remove swing pins from carriers. The bottom roller
assemblies can now be removed.
3. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.
DAMAGED ROLLER
Excessive use may wear a roller to the point of failure. It is recom-
mended that all three rollers be replaced at the same time (Cat # PO-
703). The replacement roller is an assembly consisting of one Feed
Roller, two Feed Roller Bearings, and two Bearing Spacers.
Note: The Bearing Spacers must be installed between the Carrier
and each Feed Roller Bearing (as illustrated) in order to ensure
proper operation and to obtain maximum Feed Roller life.
To Replace the Feed Roller Assembly:
1. Remove the Feed Roller Assembly by unscrewing and removing
the Feed Roller Axle.
2. For convenience, the components are assembled and wired
together at the factory. Before attempting to install the assembly,
hold the assembly together and remove the wire.
3. While still holding the Feed Roller Assembly together, insert it
into the slot opening of the Carrier.
4. In order to help align the Spacers and Bearings, insert a pencil
point or similar object through the un-threaded end of the Axle
hole in the Carrier. After removing the pencil point, continue to
maintain the alignment of the components.
5. The Feed Roller Axle should then be inserted through the same
un-threaded Axle hole and should continue to be guided through
the Spacers and Bearings to the threaded Axle hole on the other
side of the Carrier.
6. Securely tighten the Axle to the Carrier with a 3/16" allen wrench.
