5. Slide the V-
Belt (62”) over the drum and hang it from the slip
clutch. Push down on the motor enough to slide the V-Belt onto
the drum.
6.
Pull about 12” of cable out beyond the front post.
7. Slide the Flexitube, spring end first, onto the cable and into the
inner drum. (See Figure 3)
8. Then guide the knurled portion of the Flexitube spring into the
front post clamp. (See photo)
9. With one hand on the cable in front
of the front post, push the cable
down to secure the Flexitube in
position with the clamp. Make sure
the Flexitube seats properly over
the guide pin in the base of the
clamp.
10. Then, close the clamp and tighten
the knob with your other hand.
11. 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 in
the clamp. When flush with the front post, secure with bolt and
washer behind the front post.
12. Slide the belt guard over the stud on top of the motor and tighten
the knob.

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.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE!
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
disassembly is required, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the feed tension knob, springs and spring plunger. Note
the positioning of these parts to ease re-assembly. The top roller
can now be removed.
2. Remove the end caps and thrust washers from the bottom hous-
ing cylinders. The bottom rollers can now be removed.
3. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables,
be sure that they are clean and well oiled.
This not only provides running lubrication
but greatly extends the life of the cables as
well. Some users periodically pour oil direct-
ly into the drum. Then, as the drum turns,
the cables get complete lubrication. Our
SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this pur-
pose, since it not only lubricates the cables,
it deodorizes them as well.
