1. Remove the top plug (5) and the bottom plug (20).
2. Replace the bottom plug (20) with the plain bearing
(53), and tighten the bearing with a wrench.
3. Work the PTFE o-ring (54) onto the siphon tube
retainer (51), and press it into the o-ring groove.
4. Replace the top plug (5) with the siphon tube
retainer (51). Leave the retaining nut (52) on the
siphon tube retainer, but make sure it is not tighte-
ned. Tighten the siphon tube retainer into the top
of the agitator housing with a wrench.
5. Slide the siphon tube (50) down through the retain-
ing nut (52), siphon tube retainer (51), and agitator
shaft (6) until the siphon tube touches the bottom
of the drum. Raise the siphon tube approximately
1/4 in. (approximately 6 mm) so that it does not
touch the bottom of the drum. Hold the siphon tube
at this height with one hand, and tighten the retain-
ing nut with the other hand (hand-tight is enough to
hold the siphon tube in place).
CAUTION
Barrel Heights Vary.
Loosen the retaining nut on the siphon tube retainer
before you raise the drum cover. If you do not loosen
the retaining nut, the siphon tube may make contact
with the bottom of the barrel when you lower the
drum cover onto a new barrel, which could damage
the siphon tube or the barrel.
