Disassembly
To prevent malfunctions as a result of warn or broken parts, it is
recommended the blender be inspected periodically. The following
are procedures for disassembling the AC+2116, AC+3218, and the
AC+4329 models.
There are three types of seals available for the AC+ Dry Blender: D, DG,
and E Double Seal. The following steps remain the same throughout the
three seal types:
1.
Disconnect the blender from the liquid inlet piping (suction) and the
discharge piping.
2. Loosen the nut on the clamp securing the hopper to the blender until
the tension on the clamp is relieved.
3. Remove the clamp, hopper, and gasket.
4. Loosen the clamp holding the control valve.
5. Hold the valve while removing the clamp to prevent it from falling. To
repair the valve, see manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Loosen and remove the clamp at the top of the inlet adapter.
7. Remove the clamp, the diffuser, and the suction tube.
8. Loosen and remove the clamp securing the inlet tube adapter to the casing.
9. Remove the adapter and the gasket.
10. Remove the large clamp that secures the casing to the back plate.
11. Using both hands, firmly pull the casing straight up and away from the
back plate.
12. Remove the screen from inside the casing.
13. Using the appropriate wrench, remove the nut and gasket that secure
the impeller to the stub shaft.
14. Remove the impeller.
From this point forward, disassembly varies according to the type of seal in
the blender. Refer to the instructions for your specific seal arrangement.
