NOTES: Ther are two kinds of springs, lower (Part #21 and #24) and upper (Part #15)
and each type is sold in factory-matched sets of four. When one spring in the set becomes
damaged, the other three springs wear out faster as well, so you should replace all four.
Scratching or other damage to the spring wire during installation will cause the spring to
wear out faster.
The springs work in diametrically opposing pairs. Thus,each pair of springs should be
adjusted at the same time and in an equal amount.
How to Install the Springs
Lower Springs
1. Installation:
a. Find the first pair of springs, the two with the wide coil spacing, and use
two cap screws to attach them to the right front and the left back of the
frame.
b. Find the second pair of springs, the two with narrower coil spacing, and
attach them to the left front and right back as you previously did.
2. Adjustment: Only the upper springs will need adjustment, not the lower ones.
Replacement of lower springs may require adjustment of upper springs; Please
read “How to Check the Spring Adjustment” for instructions on this.
Upper Springs
1. Installation:
a. You will find that a
³⁄16
” hex key fits through the threaded spring mount
hole into the cap screw that is assembled inside the spring. The screw
will fit through the mid-plate and threads into the lower spring’s top
mount.
b. Locate the two shortest springs and install them on the left front and right
back.
c. Located the two longest springs and install them on the right front and left
back.
d. Use four flat head cap screws to fix the can platform to the springs and
ensure that the screws are secure.
2. Adjustment: The springs are threaded onto the top spring mounts to provide for
optimal adjustment for shaking. If your springs have already been factory adjusted
and they are too stiff to shake, you will need to readjust the springs (back them off)
before operating the machine.
