To replace engine belts:

Loosen nuts on engine, do not remove. Use a 1/2 wrench on slide draw bolt to move engine backwards. Replace belts. Rotate slide draw bolt until engine is back in place and belts are tight. Tighten nuts on engine.

To replace clutch:

1. Loosen hold down nuts on jack shaft stand, do not remove. Using a 1/2 wrench on slide draw bolts to move jack shaft stand forward. Remove belts.
   
   
2. Remove 5/16 bolt from clutch shaft, then tread a 5/8 NC bolt into clutch face to remove clutch. Remove coil. Place new clutch on shaft making sure key is in slot. Tighten securely with 5/16 NC bolt, flat washer and lock washer.
   
   
3. Make certain clutch pulley spins freely with belts off. If it does not spin freely, a minor adjustment to shaft bearing will have to be made.
   
   
4. Replace belts. Rotate slide draw bolts EVENLY until all belts are tight and all pulleys are in line. Tighten hold down bolts on jack shaft.

To replace clutch belts:

Follow the above instruction #1 and #5. Once again be sure to move jack shaft stand back evenly so all pulleys are in line.

STATIC DISCHARGE GROUNDING REEL
INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTION SHEET
P/N 922-307028

Introduction

Static Discharge Reels, 200-20R, 700-50R and ML2930 & ML3416 Series to be used for bonding and grounding on mobile fuel equipment at bulk stations, airports, terminals, refineries, et cetera.

Bonding and Grounding Principles

Bonding connects various pieces of conductive equipment together to keep them at the same potential. Static sparking can not occur between objects that are at the same potential.

Grounding is a form of bonding in which conductive equipment is connected to an earthing electrode or to a building grounding system in order to prevent sparking between conductive equipment and grounding structures.

Refer to the National Fire Protection Association Codes, NFPA 77 and NFPA 99 for recommended practice on static electricity.

Reel Installation

Mount Grounding Reel to object or vehicle with bolts using holes provided in base. Underside of bracket is unpainted providing a conductive surface to interface with a clean conductive surface on the object or vehicle. After mounting reel check electrical continuity (25 ohms. max,) between object or vehicle and grounding clamps at the end of the cable.

Reel Operation

Extend cable to desired object or earthing ground lug and clamp alligator jaw grip or other grounding connector in place. A pawl and ratchet permits locking of cable at any desired length within the reel's capacity. A simple tug on the cable unlocks the reel for a smooth and steady walk-back retraction.

Perform periodic tests of the bonded object to the ground clamp on the end of the cable grounding reel with Ohm Meter to confirm continuity. Maximum resistance to be 25 ohms. If higher, remove and replace reel. Inspect the entire cable length for kinks and/or broken wires. Inspect the cable clamp for good compression force and/or damage.

Caution: Do not use any part of the electrical current carrying system as a ground for static grounding. Arcing arid fires could occur from current feedback where static control grounds are tied into the electrical system neutral.

WARNING:

This product can aid in the discharge of static electricity. No prediction or advice, however, can be given about all the different conditions which can cause static discharges to accumulate. Moreover, it can not be guaranteed that the use of this product (without other precautionary steps) will prevent static ignited fires or explosions which may result in serious injury or death.

SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BEFORE INSTALLING AND / OR USING THIS PRODUCT.
