3. Work the o-ring (54) onto the siphon tube
retainer (51), and press it into the o-ring groove.
4. Replace the top plug (5) with the siphon tube
retainer (51). Leave the retaining nut (52) on the
siphon tube retainer, but make sure it is not
tightened. Tighten the siphon tube retainer into the
top of the agitator housing with a wrench.
5. Slide the siphon tube (50) down through the
retaining nut (52), siphon tube retainer (51), and
agitator shaft (6) until the siphon tube touches the
bottom of the drum. Raise the siphon tube
approximately 1/4 in. (approximately 6 mm) so that
it does not touch the bottom of the drum. Hold the
siphon tube at this height with one hand, and
tighten the retaining nut with the other hand
(hand-tight is enough to hold the siphon tube in
place).
CAUTION
Barrel Heights Vary.
Loosen the retaining nut on the siphon tube retainer
before you raise the drum cover. If you do not
loosen the retaining nut, the siphon tube may make
contact with the bottom of the barrel when you
lower the drum cover onto a new barrel, which
could damage the siphon tube or the barrel.
