INSTALLATION
The example at right
designates the indicator
parts supplied for cable control.
1) Install the upper pulley to the pipe on the
distributor bottom and securely tighten the
set screws.
2) Install the upper transfer pulley to the elevator
leg casing. Position the upper pulley in line with
the transfer pulleys so the cable runs freely.
3) Run the latch cable from the upper pulley hub
down the side of the leg casing to the foot pedal.
Locate the upper pulley so the cable is at a 45
°
angle to the upper pulley.
4) On taller installations, you may want to use
intermediate cable guides to prevent the cable
from whipping and catching or tangling. These
can be installed where determined needed.
5) Install the indicator so it is easily operated
from the work room floor. Clamps are supplied
for attaching it to the leg casing.
6) Locate the foot pedal so it can be operated at
the same time the number disc is turned.
7) The cable length needed can be determined
by taking the distributor height above the work
floor times three (x3). When attaching cable, be
certain it is secured to both the top and bottom
pulleys so it cannot slip. If possible start at the
bottom, run up through the transfer pulley, wrap
the cable twice, return to the bottom pulley,
wrap the cable twice and secure. A turnbuckle is
supplied to splice the cable and to adjust tension.
8) Install the cable to the spout latch inside the
distributor, run it down through the pipe, through
the latch control cable pulley, and attach to the
foot pedal.
9) Place the adhesive-backed numbers on the
number disc as the spouts move from opening
to opening. Place the numbers so when vertical,
each indicates the spout in position for feeding.
NOTE: To insure easy operation, make certain all
control cables are free from rubbing on flanges or
other obstructions.
