Installation

Installing the Siphon Kit

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric
or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Improper grounding can cause electric
shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the
electric current.
1. Replace the bottom plug (20) with the plain
bearing (53), and tighten the bearing with a
wrench. See Figure 4.
2. Work the PTFE o-ring (54) onto the siphon tube
retainer (51), and press it into the o-ring groove.
3. Replace the top plug (5) with the siphon tube
retainer/o-ring. Leave the retaining nut (52) on
the siphon tube retainer, but make sure it is not
tightened. Tighten the siphon tube retainer/o-ring
into the top of the agitator housing with a wrench.
4. Slide the siphon tube (50) down through the
retaining nut, siphon tube retainer, and agitator
shaft 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).
NOTICE
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.
