12. Assemble the paddle (45) on the shaft (47). See
the figure below. Align the bottom of the paddle
hub flush with the bottom of the shaft. Tighten the
two set screws (46) firmly to secure the paddle.
The paddle height on the shaft can be adjusted
if desired. The bottom mark (H) on the shaft is
the lowest recommended paddle position on the
shaft. Align the top of the paddle hub with this
mark (H) for the lowest position.
• For 5 gallon tanks:
If a 5 gallon pain is to be
placed inside
the pressure tank, align the top
of the paddle hub(45) with the upper mark (J)
on the agitator shaft (47).
13. Note the orientation of the baffle (53) in the figure
on page 9. On the 5 gallon tank, clamp the lower
U-bolt directly to the shaft support (44) (see
figure above). Slide the baffle (53) over the fluid
tube (12) and position the baffle about 1/2 in.
(13 mm) above the highest point on the agitator
paddle (45). Clamp in place with the lower U-bolt
(56), washer (41), and nut (55).
On the 10 and 15 gallon tanks, slide the baffle
(53) over the fluid tube (12) and position the
baffle about 1/2 in. (13 mm) above the highest
point on the agitator paddle (45). Clamp in place
with the lower U-bolt (56), washer (41), and nut
(55) on the lower bearing assembly (66) and (67).
Incorrect orientation of the baffle (53) to the
shaft can cause binding of the agitator assembly
resulting in higher operating pressures needed to
run the agitator. The agitator should run at less
than 10 psig (0.7 bar) when dry.
14. Remove the plug or existing elbow from the air
inlet manifold (5). Install the new elbow (69) into
the pressure tank air inlet manifold.
15. Connect the swivel end of the air hose (70) to
the elbow (69).
