STEP 1: See Figure 1. After cover (1) is installed on weld ring (2) with hinge pin (3), position
cam levers (4) on cover and close cam at each hold-down position. Minimal friction
resistance between bottom of cam and top of wear plate (5) should be evident. See

STEP 2: Insure upper pivot pin is centered between cam lever "ears". Use socket wrench to
tighten cam adjustment bolt (6) on top until gasket and weld rings top surface make
contact at each of the six cam locations

Gaskets should be checked periodically for cuts or accumulation of
product and could result in sealing problems. Replace all damaged
gaskets.
Cam levers and wear plates need to be inspected for excessive wear in
the area where they make contact. If the cam lever opens easily with
minimal resistance, replace the worn components.
