Install the Agitator
The agitator weighs 24 lb (11 kg). To manually lift it in
and out of the drum, grasp the housing (3), and guide
the helix tube (7) through the drum bung. See F
Order part number 189658, accessory handle, to
connect a lift hook to raise and lower the agitator or
hang the agitator to store it.
1.
Hold the agitator by the housing (3) or by the
accessory handle. Lower the helix tube (7) through
the bung using a turning motion until the siphon
tube rests on the bottom of the drum.
NOTE: The tube must rest on the bottom to
evacuate the maximum amount of material from the
drum and to stabilize the agitator.
2.
Make sure the gasket (46) is in place, screw the
bung adapter (44) into the bung, and tighten the
bung adapter. See F
3.
Make sure the o-ring (20) is in place inside the
lock-ring (45), then tighten the lock-ring (45).
NOTE: To keep the helix tube pointed straight down,
make sure the bung adapter (44) and lock ring (45)
are tight.
4.
Position the air motor so the air line (C) can be
attached to the inlet (D) on the needle valve without
obstructing any other system components.
5.
When using the agitator suction feature, connect
a suction hose (E) between the agitator fluid outlet
fitting (41) and the pump. See F
. 6. The hose
connector must have a 30° bevel to match the fluid
outlet fitting with an airtight seal. See Maximum
Siphon Flow Rate, page 9.
When not using the siphon feature, plug the fluid
outlet fitting (41) to prevent excess fluid evaporation.
The air motor exhaust can be piped out as follows:
Remove the air motor muffler (16a), and connect an
exhaust line to the exhaust port.
NOTE: Model 236629 has a 1/4 npt(f) exhaust port.
Model 236760 has a 3/8 npt(f) exhaust port.

NOTICE
To avoid damaging the siphon tube, lower the agitator
to the drum bottom; do not drop it.
Do not install the agitator without the bearing nut (8) in
place. See F
. 7. If the bearing nut is not installed, the
siphon tube (4) and helix tube (7) will rub against each
other during operation and cause damage. Replace the
bearing nut if damaged or worn.
