6.2 TUBE AND COMPONENTS
Check drawings and bills of material for size of
bolts or fasteners to use during assembly.
4. Lay out the tube sections.
- 12 gauge section after the hopper.
- 14 gauge section at discharge end.
Tube Layout:
• 1640-TL: one - 20’, and one - 10’ tube.
• 1650-TL: two - 20’ tubes.
• 1658-TL: two - 20’ and one - 7-1/2’ tube.
IMPORTANT:
The flange seam marks the top of tube.
Tubes have male and female ends.
Point male ends towards the discharge.
5. Find the tube flange seam, place it at the top
of tube.
6. Bolt the tubes together, and tighten.
- Leave top two holes open, on either side
of seam, on the 1650-TL or 1658-TL. The
cable bridging support arm, will be attached
here.
7. Roll tube back and forth, over a flat surface
to check the tube straightness.
If tube is crooked:
- Shim, the inside of bend.
- Remove bolt. Use 1 washer at a time.
- Sandwich it between the tube flanges.
- Tighten the bolts.
- Roll back and forth, checking again.
