B. Mounting (continued)
3.
Clamp the tank cover to the tank boxes.
4.
Raise the three hinges and mark the four hole sets for each hinge. Use "F" drill
to drill out the twelve holes.
5.
Place the end backplates (104) and center backplate (103) in place and attach
with 1/4-20 screws (111). Holes are tapped in the backplates.
6.
Drill holes for 5/16-18 screws (110 & 112) in the backplates and attach with
nuts (113).
7.
Attach spring housing (105) to the tank boxes (9 & 10).
8.
Drill holes in the two end backplates (104) for 5/16-18 screws (108) and
assemble the spring-loaded adjusting mechanism.
9.
Adjust tension on the spring (107) by setting the pre-load so it will support the
weight of the cover when the System is being lowered.
VII. MAINTENANCE
A. Periodic
Any time the tank boxes (9 & 10) appear to be "loose", refer to actuator Adjuster
(Section V. B.).
B. Semi-Annually or at Scheduled Apparatus Lube Service
1.
Actuator adjuster (7) (page 12) - Check for loose bolts; refer to adjustment
directions (Section V. B., page 6).
2.
Lubrication - We suggest that all pivoting surfaces be sprayed in the joints and
pivot points with CRC brand Stor&Lube long-term lubricant and rust preventative
#03032. Excess lubrication should be wiped off.
3. Electric actuator - We suggest the exposed shaft be cleaned and sprayed with
WD40 or a similar light, moisture-repelling silicon type lubricant.
C. Pressure Washing
Do not operate pressure washer around or near the electric actuators.
Excessive pressure may allow soap and water to blow past the seal, damaging the
actuator.
