XL 424 OPERATING MANUAL

1. After the Small Adapter Hub has been securely
attached to the Lead Tube, check the neck of the
TapMate Adapter Bell to be sure that the O‑ring is
present.
2. Screw the appropriate size and style Adapter Bell
onto the end of the Adapter Hub. You should feel
the O-ring compress as you finish threading it into
the Adapter Hub
(see fig. 11)
.
5. Remove the Brake Tube Locking Bolt from the Brake
Tube
(see fig. 13)
. This will allow the Brake Tube to
rotate separate from the entire machine. Remove the
back Workstation Brace. Leave the Front Workstation
Brace in place.
3. There are four Set Screw Holes around the Neck of
the Adapter Bell. Continue to thread the Adapter on
until the next Hole is over the Flat Slot on the top of
the Hub.
4. Insert one Set Screw into the Hole located above the
Flat and use a 3/16" Allen Wrench to tighten the Set
Screw
(see fig. 12)
.
NOTE: The Set Screw must bear ENTIRELY on
the Flat of the Small Adapter Hub. Otherwise, damage
to the threads of the Hub under the Set Screw may oc-
cur, which in turn will make the Adapter Bell very difficult
to remove. Further damage to the threads of the Adapt-
er Bell may also occur as you unscrew it from the Hub.
