1. Remove the two (2) bolts on the top cover that
are on the end opposite the cover overhang and
raise the cover. The cover will hinge on the back
two (2) bolts.
>
The cover will hit the encoder if opened
too far.
NOTE
2. Check the chain and sprocket for wear.
Lubricate the triple chain with a small amount of
silicone-free chain oil.
3. Check the weight tube guides for wear. If nec-
essary, lubricate the inside of the weight guide
tube with a small amount of silicone-free oil. Oil
should be applied to the inside walls of the weight
tube. Be careful not to apply too much oil as
it may run down inside of the tube and drip
out the bottom and possibly cause product
contamination.
4. Check that the bolts on the motor/gear box,
limit switches, stop plate, and stops are tight.
Tighten if necessary.
5. Check the guide rollers for wear. Replace as
necessary. Do not over-tighten the roller ten-
sioners. The rollers should have approximately
1/8-inch clearance at the point of contact.
6. If you have to gain access to the motor,
encoder, or terminal box, close the cover and re-
place the two (2) bolts on the opposite end of the
cover from the hinge bolts. Remove the two (2)
hinge bolts and swing the cover in the opposite
direction all the way up until the far edge rests on
the 10-inch pipe.
7. After servicing, replace all of the cover bolts
and tighten.

LOCK-OUT
INSTRUCTIONS
Electric Overhead Reciprocator
1. The safety brake has a 7/32-inch thru-hole lo-
cated on the 1 1/2-inch diameter rod that the triple
chain is attached to. A 3/16-inch diameter pin can
be inserted into the hole when the rod is pulled
all the way out; this will lock-out the brake. The
lock-out is used when removing or installing new
chain or the 6 inch inner tube. The tube must be
supported before locking-out the brake, as the
6-inch diameter inner tube could fall causing
severe bodily injury as well as damage to the
machine.
2. The counter balance weight can be locked at
the top of the weight tube for replacing the chain
or 6-inch tube. The 6-inch inner tube must be
jogged down past the run-away limit switch in
order to move the weight to the top position. The
counter balance weight will bottom-out on the top
hard stop; 1 1/2-inch diameter steel rod (approx-
imately 8-inches long) must be installed through
the holes on the side of the weight tube near the
top. The rod must be inserted under the weight.
Make sure when service is completed, the rod
is removed before starting the reciprocator.
