1.
With the agitator shaft (47) pushed up against the
lower washer (48), secure the lower portion of the
coupling half (52c) to the shaft by tightening the
coupling set screw against the flat on the shaft.
Leave about a 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) gap between
the coupling half and upper washer (48).
2.
Align the upper coupling (52b) with the lower
coupling and tighten the four screws (26).
Tighten to 150–170 in-lbs (17–19 N•m). Leave
a 0.015 in. (0.38mm) gap between each of the
coupling halves and the spider (52d).
3.
Connect the air regulator (38). Check for
proper alignment by running the agitator at low
pressures and speeds. If necessary, adjust the
alignment by loosening and retightening the four
adapter plate screws (26).
