LID GASKET
•
Flip the lid upside down and install a section of the gasket, flat
side seating into the lid groove first. Lightly push the gasket in,
installing it in the groove as you go around the lid.
•
Please Note, the gasket is larger than the groove to help ensure
a tight seal during fermentation. Continue pushing the gasket
against itself and into the lid until it is in the groove and equally
distributed without stretch points. Once you get the first piece
of the gasket in the groove then you can use both hands to work
the gasket around the lid and into the groove with your thumbs.
LID CLAMP
WARNING:
Improper assembly of the lid clamp can cause the X1 Lid to be released while under pressure, possibly resulting in injury or death.
•
When installing the lid clamp, be careful to install it according to the pictures shown here. Incorrect assembly can be hazardous to both
equipment & user.
•
Ensure that the lid is centered on top of the conical body during assembly. The two should be centered so that the clamp seals down evenly.
•
Lid Clamp should be hand tightened fully so there is a 5/8" gap between the ends on the 27 and 42 gallon models and a 1/8" gap on the 7
and 14 gallon models. See assembly pictures below for proper setup.
