2.1 Integration with a BK7IB
In order to use a BK703 with a Buskro BK7IB Inline base, a BK715 power take-off unit is
required. The BK715 consists of the power take-off which transfers drive from the
BK7IB to the BK703, the locking mechanism that supports and secures the BK703, the
lower gap assembly which provides access to the base vacuum, and a number of covers.
In order to install a BK703 to a BK7IB, the following instructions should be followed
(reference drawings in Appendix A):
1. Remove the drive side outfeed roller cover on the BK7IB (9100780).
2. Remove the shaft encoder from the BK7IB drive shaft.
3. Attach the locking mechanism (9100760A or LA) to the base. Keep the mounting
screws loose.
4. Secure one of the coupling hubs (reference drawing 9100755A) to the BK7IB
drive shaft and attach the coupling insert.
5. Attach the power take-off (9100755A or 9100755LA) to the base in the orientation
. Once the coupling is engaged, rotate the assembly 90 degrees
into its final position. Keep the mounting screws loose.
6. Attach the power takeoff cross bar (9101978) as shown in BK715-7IB. This is
used on models manufactured after September 2002.
7. Attach the lower gap assembly (9101411A) but keep the mounting screws loose.
Route the vacuum tubing into the base and attach the tee (
4” long vacuum tubing to the blower and the tee. The tubing from the Inline
tabletop should go into the remaining tee opening.
8. Square up the power take-off and tighten the mounting screws holding the unit to
the base. Ensure that the centerline of the inline drive shaft is in line with the
centerline of the power take-off (i.e. the centerline of the coupling hubs should not
be offset with each other or look angled).
9. Square up the locking mechanism assembly and tighten the mounting screws
holding the unit to the base.
