Pack bearing with grease prior to installation

Evaporator Reassembly

Lubricate the upper O-Ring with food grade white grease and attach the upper housing to the auger. Pack the tapered roller bearing with Chevron Oil FM Grease EP NLGI 0 or equivalent. Fill the cavity below the bearing with

grease. Install the bearing over the bearing journal, install the washer and bolt, tighten to 40 ft/lbs.

Lightly lubricate the O-Ring on the lower housing and install the complete lower housing into the evaporator by applying even pressure upward. It may be necessary to tap the housing with a rubber mallet or with a hammer and hard wooden block. Install and tighten the lower evaporator nut. Install and

tighten the lower nut setscrews.

Apply silicone sealant to the rubber side of the seal; do not

apply silicone to the flat portion of the seal

Carefully install the seal face, as shown, do not damage the flat portion of the seal

Torque setscrews to 55 inch pounds

Carefully install the auger and upper housing assembly into the evaporator barrel, taking care not to scrape the evaporator walls. Push downward on the housing until the bearing housing is seated against the evaporator barrel. A rubber mallet may be needed to tap the housing into place. Install the grease cap and tighten the upper evaporator nut.
