ASSEMBLY
ALIGN ROTATE

Shimming the Basket and Spider Assembly

This procedure is normally necessary when replacing either the
basket or the spider assembly on any Continental tumbler. The
alignment of these two parts is crucial in assuring a true running
basket.
1. Align the basket as per instructions in the manual.
2. Rotate the basket to determine where the most out-of-round
point is (where the basket scrapes or comes closest to
scraping the sweep sheet).
3. Mark this position and the nearest rib to this position.
4. Remove the basket (do not loosen the alignment bolts).
5. With the basket on the floor (spider up), place one or two
shims between the spider leg and the back of the basket at
the marked rib position. (see drawing)
6. Reinsert spider and basket assembly and recheck cylinder.
7. If at this point basket is still out-of-round, procedure must
be repeated, starting with Step B.
8. Upon completion of shimming process, realignment of
basket is necessary.
NOTE
If the point mentioned in Step B is between two ribs, both
ribs might have to be shimmed.
