E. Top Bin Wall Mounting
1. If flange mounting plate is used, fully assemble the paddle switch by connecting the paddle to the
power shaft and secure with a 1/8" roll pin.
2. For level applications where an extended shaft is used, assemble the flexible coupling, the shaft
adapter, and the extended shaft as shown in Figure 3 and secure with 1/8" roll pins. Slide the shaft
guard pipe (optional) over the lower end of the extended shaft up to the bottom of the mounting
flange and screw into the full pipe coupling lower end. (Note: For extended shafts longer than 12",
a shaft guard is recommended in both low or high level applications where the product density is
greater than 15lbs/ft
3. Connect the paddle to the end of the shaft and secure with a 1/8" roll pin.
4. Insert the full assembly through the 5-1/2" clear opening and align the flange mounting bolt holes
such that the conduit entries are oriented to suit the field conduit runs.
5. Screw in the six mounting bolts and tighten.
6. If a full pipe coupling fitting is to be used instead of the mounting flange then the lower shaft assem-
bly must be assembled from the inside of the bin after the paddle housing is secured to the bin wall.
Note: Special care should be taken to ensure that the paddle assembly is tightened into the pipe
coupling by wrench tightening at the machined flats (1-1/8") below the bottom of the housing only.
DO NOT tighten the housing into the coupling by turning the housing itself.
7. If the extended shaft length exceeds five feet and a pipe shaft guard is used, the pipe guard should
be braced at six-foot intervals with field installed straps or plates.
