a
the foot pulley is
normally installed
on the main floor
so that the pedal
and number disc
can be operated
at the same time
The drawing at the left designates the various parts of the indicator that
are supplied for cable control.
1
Attach the upper pulley to the pipe on the bottom of the
distributor and tighten the set screws securely.
2
The upper transfer pulley should then be attached to the elevator
leg casing, making certain that the upper pulley is in line with the
transfer pulleys which will make the cable run freely.
3
The latch control transfer pulley is supplied so that the cable
that controls the latch cable can run down the side of the leg
casing. To prevent as much drag as possible on the cable, this
pulley should be located so that the cable is at a 45
°
angle.
4
On taller installations, you may want to use intermediate
cable guides to prevent the cable from whipping around and
becoming caught or tangled. These can be installed where you
deem necessary.
5
Attach the indicator wheel so that it can easily be operated
from the work room floor. Clamps are supplied for attaching it
to the leg.
6
Locate the foot pedal so that it can be operated at the same
time the number disc is being turned.
7
The amount of cable needed can be determined by taking the
height of the distributor above the work floor times three (x3).
In attaching the cable, be certain that it is secured to both the
top and bottom pulleys so that it cannot slip. If possible, start at
the bottom, run up through the transfer pulley, wrap the cable
twice and secure. A turnbuckle is supplied to splice the cable
with and to adjust tension.
8
Attach the cable to the spout latch inside the distributor and run
it down through the pipe, through the latch control cable pulley
and attach to the foot pedal.
9
The adhesive-backed numbers can be placed on the number
disc, as the spouts moved from opening to opening. Place
the numbers so that when vertical, it indicates which spout is
located for feeding.
10
To assure easy operation, ensure that all control cables are
free from rubbing on flanges or other obstructions.
