Keep the agitator upright. Do not lay it on its side
or upside down, or liquid may flow down the shaft
and into the gear reducer area.
Each week, clean any dried fluid/material on the
shaft (6) near the housing (13). If any material is
on the shaft (6) within ½ in. (13 mm) of the housing
(13), it must be removed to prevent damage to the
bearing seal (14*). If the flexible lips on the bearing
seal are torn or worn such that they do not make
contact all the way around the shaft, the seal must
be replaced. A worn seal may allow foreign material
into the bearing and cause premature failure. See
Servicing the Gear Reducer, page 21
for instructions
on getting access to the seal and for the Bearing
Replacement Kit Part No.
*Included in Bearing Replacement Kit 238251.

If your agitator has a siphon kit, perform steps 2–4
in
Cleaning an Agitator with a Siphon Kit, page 21
.
If your agitator does not have a siphon kit,
proceed to step 3 below.
3.
Remove the agitator from the drum of material.
Separate the agitator from the agitator shaft (if
applicable):
a.
For an in-drum agitator:
i.
Unscrew the gearbox unit from the
center bung fitting of the 55-gallon drum.
Disengage and remove the unit from the
built-in shaft in the 55-gallon drum.
b.
For an agitator without an elevator:
i.
Remove and position the drum cover and
agitator by following the instructions in
Assembling and Positioning the Agitator,
page 10
, see Without

ii.
Carefully separate the gearbox output
shaft (6a) from the agitator shaft (6b)
using the wrench flats on both shaft
sections.
iii. Remove the agitator assembly from the
drum cover by loosening the screws
(25) that attach the gearbox to the drum
cover.
c.
For an agitator with an elevator:
i.
Raise the elevator (102), remove the
drum and place it out of the way. Lower
the elevator to the down position. The
elevator must be in the down position
when you do any work on the elevator,
agitator, or drum cover assembly.

Carefully separate the gearbox output
shaft (6a) from the agitator shaft (6b)
using the wrench flats on both shaft
sections.
iii. Remove the agitator assembly from the
drum cover by loosening the screws
(25) that attach the gearbox to the drum
cover.
4.
Remove the two short bolts (11) and the two long
