7.
Secure it at the second hole from the top of the post with one support post lock pin.
[4b]
. The second
hole is an arbitrary selection. You may adjust the height to your specific needs, although we caution
against using the highest setting if you have a large, unbalanced load.
Final assembly procedure
1.
Attach the motor assembly
[5]
to the remaining base/support post assembly using the same procedure as
steps 6 and 7 above, making sure that it is set at the same height.
2.
You should now have:
a.
a base/support post assembly with a remote spit support bracket
[3]
,
b.
a base/support post assembly with the motor assembly
[5]
attached, and
c.
the assembled spit (or unassembled if that is what you have chosen for your rigging).
Note
: The next step is rigging the meat to the spit. Please refer to the related documents for instructions
on how to do this. Once the meat is securely fastened to the spit, you can proceed with the final
assembly. We suggest using the support assemblies to help in the rigging procedure. It is much easier to
work with when the meat is off the ground and supported. Once the meat is secured on the spit, we can
proceed with the assembly.
3.
Remove the coupling bolt from the spit coupling attached to the
motor.
4.
Slide the spit into the spit coupling.
5.
Place the other end of the spit on the bearings on the spit support
bracket.
6.
Attach the motor
[5]
to a 110V power source (or inverter) and turn it
on to
spin the coupling until the holes for the spit and coupling align (if
necessary). Turn the motor off and disconnect the power.
7.
Slide the coupling bolt through the coupling and the spit and attach
the
coupling nut to the bolt. Finger tighten and then wrench tighten
another couple of threads. This is a special lock nut that will resist
coming loose with prolonged motion
8.
The rotisserie is now fully assembled and ready to use.
Check to make sure all connections are tight and secure before proceeding!
Attaching the Manual Operation Crank
Use the manual operation crank for hand turning of the spit for either preference or necessity. It enables you to
operate the system in case of power or equipment failure or if you just want a more organic hands-on
experience. The manual crank can be attached at either end of the spit. Attach the crank to the spit by inserting
it into the end of the spit and using the bolt provided to connect it.
Note: manual operation requires
constant
turning. Stopping the turning, even for 30 seconds, may cause the
meat to burn.
1.
Remove the nut and bolt from the non-handle end.
2.
Insert the crank into the remote end of the spit, align the holes and fasten with the nut and bolt.
