Re: Replacement/Adjustment Procedure-RTH Series Turntable Wear Plugs

A coupler consisting of a Wear Plug Housing, Cap Screw and Delrin© Plug are depicted in Figure No. 1 in assembled and exploded
view respectively (see below).

The Delrin© Plug provides low friction bearing support between contacting surfaces of the columns during extension and retraction of
the inner post.

Normal use will require occasional replacement of the Delrin© Plug. The repeated extension/retraction cycle of operation of the inner
post, over time wears away the protruding segment of the plug. As the plugs wear (one on each side of the post, see Fig. 1) the gap or
space between the columns narrows. To avoid metal to metal contact, the plugs must be adjusted for position to correct for the
narrowed gap lost through wear or replaced if no further adjustment capability exists.

Replacement and/or periodic adjustment of position of the Plugs is best accomplished as follows:

Bring the conveyor into Horizontal Orientation 180 degrees from its normal resting position in the Headache rack in order to
achieve a minimum gap between posts of approximately 1/4 inch.

DANGER!

Look up and around. Made Certain there are no

overhead wires or power lines that may interfere or come into contact with the conveyor during positioning for replacement

See 29CFR 1926.1400.

ADJUSTMENT

: Attempt to turn the Cap Screw by a clock-wise rotation. If by application of reasonable force you are unable

to rotate the Cap Screw, heat may be required to break the chemical bond of a thread sealant applied at the factory. If by this
rotation you encounter a dead stop i.e. threads bottom-out and the gap is not filled by protrusion of the Delrin© Plug, a new
plug must be inserted, see step (3). Otherwise, go to step (4).

REPLACEMENT

: Remove Cap Screw and insert a new Delrin© Plug into the Wear Plug Housing. A portion of the old plug

may still be present. This residual portion of the former plug should remain in the Wear Plug Housing. If by inserting the new
plug, you are unable to engage the threads of the Cap Screw and Wear Plug Housing, it will be necessary to reduce the length
of the new plug by removing a portion sufficient to allow placement into the Wear Plug Housing and to engage the Cap Screw
threads.

CAUTION:

for proper thread engagement, the end of the Cap Screw should not extend outside of a plane constituting

the outbound end surface of the Wear Plug Housing. After satisfying yourself that the appropriate amount of trim has been
removed (as necessary) sufficient to allow proper engagement of the threads, rotate the Cap Screw until tight

Remove the Cap Screw and apply to the surface of the threads

LOCTITE 262 Thread Locker

(follow manufacturers

directions). The Cap Screw should then be reinserted and tightened (clock-wise rotation) until snug). The sealant will cure
within a few minutes.
