  1. Stand up inlet stem (603) in inverted position (3 bolt holes facing up).
    • Stand up inlet stem (603) in inverted position (3 bolt holes facing up).

    • Check to see that the three 5/16-18 bolt holes are free of oil or water.

  2. Install upper tee housing bearing (631). Be sure to line up tab of bearing in notch of inlet stem so that the bearing flange sits flat on the machined surface of the inlet stem.
    • Install upper tee housing bearing (631).

    • Be sure to line up tab of bearing in notch of inlet stem so that the bearing flange sits flat on the machined surface of the inlet stem.

  3. Carefully install the tee housing seal (635- TG) with the spring facing up towards the 4 ports in the inlet stem. In cold temperatures, it is recommended that the seals be heated slightly in warm water, so that they will fit over the inlet stem O.D. easily.
    • Carefully install the tee housing seal (635- TG) with the spring facing up towards the 4 ports in the inlet stem.

    • In cold temperatures, it is recommended that the seals be heated slightly in warm water, so that they will fit over the inlet stem O.D. easily.

    • It is recommended that bearings and seals always be changed in pairs.

    • Lubricate cup O.D. with a small amount of food grade gearbox oil.

    • Using tool # T-3 and an arbor press, press cup down into tee housing until the flange is seated flat on the tee housing.

    • Repeat procedure for other cup.

    • Wipe a small amount of food grade gearbox oil on I.D. of bearing cups.

    • This reduces the initial friction between the seals and cups.

    • Invert tee housing and place over bearing and seal on inlet stem.

    • Install lower seal, spring facing down towards the ports in the inlet stem.

    • Next, place the lower 631 bearing over the inlet stem with the tab facing up.

  4. Place tee housing bevel gear (617) on bearing.
    • Place tee housing bevel gear (617) on bearing.

    • Line up notch on the I.D. of the bevel gear with the tab on the bearing as shown in the photo # 2.

    • Rotate the bevel gear (617) and the bearing (631) until the notch on the bevel gear lines up with the locator mark on the inlet stem.

    • The assembly should match the photo # 2 at this point.

  5. Line up notch of ring gear (see photo # 4) with drive lug on 604 tee housing (see photo # 2). The side of the ring gear with the “Cloud 620” faces down towards the bevel gear.
    • Line up notch of ring gear (see photo # 4) with drive lug on 604 tee housing (see photo # 2).

    • The side of the ring gear with the “Cloud 620” faces down towards the bevel gear.

    • Some of the earlier models do not have “Cloud” or “620” cast into the ring gear, and some have 2 notches for locking the ring gear to the tee housing.

    • All models of ring gears are interchangeable.

    • Install the ring gear retaining ring (621); place one end into groove in tee housing, then work the ring into the groove and press into place with a small screwdriver.

    • Be sure the retaining ring is completely seated in the tee housing groove.

    • Place the 3 gearbox bolt o-rings (641-3) into the counterbores of the inlet stem.

    • Lubricate the o-rings and the 1” bore of the inlet stem with gearbox oil.

    • This will prevent twisting of o-rings during assembly

    • Install a new o-ring (662) on the upper rotor shaft bearing housing (660-U).

    • Place the 660-U into the top end of the gearbox (601).

    • Install a new o-ring (642-3) on the gearbox, using a small amount of oil for lubrication.

    • NOTE: Flow-thru machines do not have a seal protector (659-3), or a seal retainer 611-3A (which has 2-639 orings and 2-641-TG seals).

    • Invert the gearbox, and place the seal protector (659-3) into the center bore of the gearbox.

    • Install two (2) new rotor shaft seals (641-TG) and o-rings (639) on the seal retainer (611-3).

    • This is important to prevent interference with the geartrain.

    • Press down with your fingers until (639) o-ring is seated.

    • Place tool # T-5 with a 12 oz. Hammer or use an arbor press to seat the flange of the lower rotor shaft bearing is against the gearbox bore face.

    • IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to maintain proper alignment between the upper and lower rotor shaft bearings, the flange of the lower rotor shaft bearing (660-L) must be completely seated against the face of gearbox (601-3) bore.

    • Place the T-8 seal protector over the end of the rotor shaft assembly (622-A), and insert the rotor shaft thru the upper (660-U) and lower (660-L) rotor shaft bearings.

    • The rotor shaft should spin freely; if there is resistance, it is probably because the flange of the lower rotor shaft bearing is not completely seated against the gearbox.

    • Reseat the lower rotor shaft bearing (660-L) with the tool # T-5, and test the alignment once again.

  6. Check to see that the three 5/16-18 bolt holes in the inlet stem (603) are free of oil or water. Invert the gearbox and line up the tab on the gearbox (see photo # 3) with the notch on the bevel gear (617).

    • Invert the gearbox and line up the tab on the gearbox (see photo # 3) with the notch on the bevel gear (617).

    • Once the tab and notch are engaged, the gearbox can be rotated if necessary to line up the bolt holes.

    • If the bevel gear (617) is aligned properly with the locator mark on the inlet stem, the gearbox bolt holes will be lined up with the inlet stem bolt holes. Refer to photo # 2.

    • Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the bolts.

    • Install the 3 gearbox bolts with lockwashers.

    • Hand tighten bolts, then torque to 30ft/lbs for Stainless Steel, 23 ft/ lbs for Bronze.

    • Place the rotor shaft spacer (655) on the rotor shaft (622-A).

    • Place tool # T-8 seal protector on the rotor shaft end.

    • This tool protects the rotor shaft seals from damage during installation of rotor shaft.

    • Push rotor shaft thru lower rotor shaft bearing until pinion gear engages with 623-A gearset.

    • Remove the T-8 seal protector from the rotor shaft.

    • Rotate the rotor shaft to be certain that all of the gears are properly engaged, and the rotor shaft bearings are aligned.

    • NOTE: Flow-thru machines do not have rotor shaft seals and therefore you do not need to use tool # T-8 seal protector when installing the rotor shaft assembly.

    • Fill the gearbox with oil.

    • The oil level should just cover the (623-A) gearset on the final shaft (616) as shown in photo # 8.

    • All Lubricated machines are supplied with the following type of oil:

    • OIL TYPE: Food Grade U.S.D.A Acceptable H-1 QTY: 14 oz. (414 ml.) S.A.E.-90

    • Note: Flow-thru machines do not have oil in the gearbox, they are lubricated by the cleaning solution.

    • For non-food industry applications, H-2 lubricants can be used such as Keystone Keygear 90, KLC-20/50 or KSL-365.

    • Lightweight gear oils SAE 50-90 are also suitable.

    • It should be noted that heavy weight (140) gear oils or greases will alter the performance of the machine regarding cycle times.
