If net dispenser motor leakage is noted, it is recommended that a case drain hose be added during repair or replacement of the motor. A case drain should effectively prevent a repeated failure. The necessary fittings and hose can be installed with the net dispenser motor installed.

 

Call Bucyrus Equipment Company Inc. (800-330-0857) to obtain the necessary fittings and hose to perform this upgrade.

 

1.  Remove the plug from the end cap (opposite the shaft end) from the dispenser motor. Install a straight-thread elbow connector into the motor. The O-ring threads must be 7/16-20 (No. 4) and the JIC threads must be 9/16-18 (No. 6). See Figure 1.
