Install the Agitator, Angled Adaptor | Graco 24C728 B, Series B

Install the Agitator

Always maintain a minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm) clear- ance between rotating agitator parts and container to prevent sparks from contact.

1.Due to variability in drum heights the lowest set of blades may contact the bottom of the drum. If the bung adapter will not fully seat, or if resistance is felt when installing the agitator, move the blades up the shaft. To move the blades, loosen the setscrew on the hub and slide the assembly up or down to the desired position. The setscrew must always remain on the top, with the blades hanging down, so the blades will pass into and out of the bung hole.

2.To install the agitator on the container cover, drop the folding blade sections through the drum bung hole, then screw the bung adapter into the bung hole. See Dimensions, page 9.

Installation

NOTICE

Keep the agitator tightly mounted to the drum bung to prevent damage to the threads from vibration.

When using a modified drum, check that there is no interference between the base of the drum and the shaft of the agitator to prevent blade or shaft dam- age and to avoid sparks from contact (see Warning under Install the Agitator).

3.Position the air motor so the air line can be attached easily to the needle valve’s 1/8 npt inlet, without obstructing any other system components.

4.Attach an air line quick disconnect valve or ball valve for main air shutoff. Order Part 208536, Coupler, and Part 169969, fitting.

5.Attach the air line between the needle valve’s 1/8 npt inlet and the 1/8 npt air supply manifold outlet.

To avoid personal injury, never operate the agitator outside of a drum.

Angled Adaptor

If the agitator is used on a drum with an off-center bung and the blades would contact the side of the drum, the angled adaptor must be used to avoid this contact.

1.Thread the locking ring onto the angled adaptor by hand, as far as it will go.

2.Thread the angled adaptor into the bung until it bot- toms out, then back it out until the widest portion on of the adaptor top is pointing just to the left of the center of the drum (Fig. 4).

3.Turn down the locking ring until it contacts the drum. Use an appropriately sized pipe wrench or adjust- able wrench to tighten the adaptor down until the widest portion of the adaptor top is in line with the drum.
