STEP 3:
Drum Panel B Assembly
Select:
1 Drum Panel B Segment
g
12 Shoulder Bolts (gold) (item 17)
g
12 #10 Flatwashers (item 11)
g
12 #10 Lock Nuts (item 18)
g
A. Carefully fit Drum Panel B into the last open space of
the Endcap to complete the Drum Cylinder, overlapping the
adjoining segments and lining up the hole patterns along
both sides and into the rim of the Endcap. The flanges on
the door opening should fold toward the inside of the drum.
B. Starting from the bottom and working from the outside,
fasten Drum Panel B to the other Drum Panels using:
1 Shoulder Bolt (gold)
1 #10 Flatwasher
1 #10 Lock Nut
at each of the six holes on both sides of Drum Panel B. The washers and locknuts should be fastened inside the
Drum Body. The slotted holes in these Drum Panels will allow for adjustment to make placement of the second
Endcap easier. Use the Phillips (cross) screwdriver and
until tight. The shoulder bolts should still turn easily after assembly. If they do not, loosen them
STEP 4:
Second Encap Assembly
Select:
1 Endcap (item 3)
g
3 Tie Rods (item 4)
g
6 Acorn Nuts (item 14)
g
A. Position the second Endcap over the open end of the Drum
Assembly, lining up the Endcaps so that the screens are nearly
opposite each other. The center mixing fin in the drum fits into
the alignment slot near the screen. (Note: The mixing fins on the
ends of the segments will not fit in the alignment slots because
the drum panels extend beyond the alignment slots in this section
of the drum.) Be sure the Drum Assembly is completely fitted into
the Endcap rim all around.
B. Thread an acorn nut onto the end of one Tie Rod just until
the nut holds (about two turns). Insert the other end of the Tie
Rod through one of the small holes near the screen in the top
Endcap and run the rod down through the opposite hole in
the bottom Endcap. Continued...
