Assemble the Agitator

1.

Make sure the spacer (10) is in place (see Parts
page 18).
 With its larger-I.D. taper facing up, install 
the larger pulley (13) and the drive belt (15) through 
the agitator housing. See F

IG

. 11.

2.

Slide the other end of the drive belt over the smaller 
pulley (12). The drive belt should not be tight after it 
is installed. Make sure the pulleys are aligned, then 
secure the small pulley (12) by tightening its 
setscrew. Torque setscrew to 45 to 55 in- lbs (5.1 to 
6.2 N•m).

3.

Place the bushing (14) into the larger pulley (13).

4.

Install the screws (14a) in the non-threaded holes in 
the bushing (14); do not tighten the screws yet.

5.

Place the installation tool (B) on the end of the helix 
tube. See F

IG

. 10.

NOTE: The installation tool (B) is included with 
236762, shaft seal kit 

6.

Apply PTFE spray lubricant to the top 6 in. (150 
mm) of the helix tube (7). While holding the pulley 
(13) down, push the helix tube and tool (B) up 

through the bottom of the agitator housing (3) until 
the tube is flush with the top of the bushing (14). 
Then remove the installation tool.

Wedge a screwdriver blade into the gap of the 
bushing (14) to spread the bushing while inserting 
tube (7).

7.

Torque the three hex-head screws (14a) oppositely 
and evenly to 55 to 60 in-lbs (6.2 to 6.8 N•m). See 
F

IG

. 11.

8.

Install the thrust washer (35) flush to the bushing 
(14) as shown in Detail B of F

IG

. 10.

9.

Secure the drive belt cover (2) with the eight screws 
(27).

10. Apply PTFE spray lubricant to the siphon tube (4) 

inlet end only. Install the siphon tube through the top 
of the agitator housing (3). See F

IG

. 10.

11. Install the two socket-head screws (24) and lock- 

washers (25) into the top of the siphon cover (6). 
Torque the screws oppositely and evenly to 60 to 70 
in-lbs (6.8 to 7.9 N•m).

NOTE: The helix tube (7) should move up and down 
about 0.05 inch (1.3 mm). If it does not, the bearings 
(11) are not fully seated. Push the bearings in until 
they are fully seated. See Parts, page 18 for the 
location of the bearings.

12. Apply PTFE spray lubricant to the inside lip of the 

bearing nut (8), and tighten it onto the helix tube (7).

NOTICE

Use the installation tool (B) to insert the helix tube (7) 
through the shaft seal (21) without damaging the seal 
lip. See F

IG

. 10. See Parts, page 18, for the location of 

the seal.
