Support pipe A fastened into tripod base
Base and pipe assembly B
(Ready to accept the motor mount assembly)
2.
Place the motor mount assembly in the spit support pipe assembly B (above). Note that there
is a notch in the motor mount base connector pipe that must be aligned properly with the
cross screw in the support pipe that it sits in (below). If these are connected properly, the base
will be positioned (one leg will be directly under the motor assembly and in parallel alignment)
so as to prevent the motor and base assembly from tipping over. Make sure that the motor
mount assembly pipe (with notch) is fully seated in the pipe and that the alignment with
the base is correct (see picture below).

Final assembly procedure:
Note: at this point you would most likely have rigged the hog to the spit
(see below).
1.
Set the spit up so that it is resting on both supports, with the
bearing rings seated into the spit supports.
2.
Place one end of the spit in the spit coupler (attached to the
driveshaft of the motor) and secure it with the screw provided.
Push the screw through the coupler and the spit and secure tightly
with the wing nut.
