Dear Friend:

Thank you for purchasing the Original ComposTumbler. Properly assembled and

operated, your new tumbler can go on giving you rich, healthy compost for y

ears.

And that in turn will give you a healthier, more beautiful and productive lawn and

gar

den – naturally.

Your Original ComposTumbler has been shipped ready to be assembled. All of the parts

and pieces

you will need are included–all you supply are the proper tools and the labor.

This manual is designed to help you through the step-by-step assembly process

and

make it an easy and painless operation.

eb dluow taht spets era ereht hguohtla ,nosrep eno tsuj yb detelpmoc eb nac ylbmessa eritne ehT

easier with a second pair of hands!

You will probably find it easiest to assemble your Original ComposTumbler on or near the place

where you intend to use it. While the completed assembly isn’t

heavy, it is somewhat bulky and

awkward to move.

Work on a smooth surface to prevent scratching the paint on the drum.

Before you start:

Take the time to read this manual completely before you actually start the assembly. That way you

can avoid any surprises halfway through the job.

Check the "Tools You Will Need" list below and make sure you have all of them handy. Having the

proper tools can make the assembly much faster and easier.

Then, check over the parts included and compare them against the parts list on Page 3.

Make sure you have and can identify all of the parts for both the Frame and the Tumbler Drum

before you start.

#10-32X1/4 SCREW, PAN HEAD WITH EXTERNAL WASHER

STEP 1: Lower Support Assembly

Select:

• 2 Lower Supports (item 1)

• 2 Support Spacers (item 2)

• 4 1/2” x 2” (1.3 x 5 cm) Bolts (item 7)

1) Make sure you have removed the tie rods from inside the

support spacers.

2) Fasten one support spacer to lower support section with

1/2” (1.3 cm) Bolt as shown in the adjacent photograph.

After orienting the other lower support section in

a position where the straight and smaller ended

uprights are diagonally opposite each other, fasten

this section to the opposite end of the support spacer

with 1/2” (1.3 cm) bolt.

3) With lower support sections held upright, as above,

fasten the other support spacer in a similar manner with

2 additional 1/2” (1.3 cm) Bolts to form the assembly

shown in the adjacent photograph.

STEP 2: Upper Support Assembly

Select:

• 2 Upper Supports (item 4)

• 2 Support Spacers (item 2)

• 4 1/2” x 2” (1.3 x 5 cm) Bolts (item 7)

1) With open end facing down, position one upper support,

parallel to a lower support spacer, over the upright

sections of the lower support assembly, and oriented so

that a small diameter end opposes a straight section.

(Note: Upper support sections (item 4 in adjacent photo)

must be at right angles to lower support sections (item

1 in adjacent photo) to result in sufficient strength and

stability to support the drum.)

2) Slip the ends of the upper support fully into and over the

uprights of the lower support section. Repeat with the

second support.

3) Fasten the support spacers to the upper supports,

following the same procedure used in Step 1.

4) Now is the time to secure the 8 bolts that turn into the

support spacers. Using a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench, snugly

tighten each bolt to stabilize support frame.

STEP 3: Axle & Drive Wheel Assembly

Select:

• 2 Axle Rods (item 5)

• 4 Drive Wheels (item 6)

1) Slip the rst axle through one of the axle rod carriers on

an upper support.

2) Place two drive wheels onto the axle inside the

framework, making sure that the smaller, slotted ends of

the wheels face away from each other and toward the ends

of the axle (see illustration).

3) Insert the end of the axle through the corresponding

carrier on the other upper support. The two drive wheels

are now suspended on the axle between the upper

supports.

4) Repeat the procedure with the second axle and two

remaining drive wheels.

5) Add a small amount of oil or grease to the end of the

shaft. Then spin the axle to work the lubricant inside the

axle support.

STEP 4: Drive Handle Assembly

Select:

• 1 Drive Handle (item 3)

• 1 Grip (item 8)

• 1 Grip Cap (item 9)

• 1 #6 Screw (item 11)

1) Slide the Grip onto the end of the Drive Handle.

2) Push the stem of the Grip Cap into the end of the Drive

Handle, aligning the holes.

3) Secure the Grip Cap to the end of the Drive Handle with

the #6 Screw. Tighten the Screw until just snug. Note:

The head of the Screw will be in the hole of the Drive

Handle, locking the Grip Cap in position.

STEP 5: Spring Pin Assembly

Select:

• 1 Drive Handle Assembly (step 4)

• 4 Spring Pins (item 10)

1) Decide which corner of the assembly the drive handle is to be positioned on. (Any of the

four corners will accept the handle assembly. The decision is entirely a factor of your

convenience.) Insert the shaft of the handle into the end of the axle rod at the corner.

2) Line up the holes in the handle shaft and the axle, then using a hammer, gently drive a

spring pin through all holes.

3) Drive a spring pin through the holes in each of the three remaining ends of the axle rods.

To hold the drive wheels properly, the spring pin should extend an equal amount on each side of the rod at all four corners.

4) Move each drive wheel into position against its corresponding spring pin, lining up the slots in the drive wheel with the pin.

Slide the wheel over the pin at each corner.

STEP 6: Initial Drum Body Assembly

Select:

• 1 Drum Segment A (item 12)

• 2 Drum Segments B (item 13)

• 10 #10 Bolts (silver) (item 22)

• 10 #10 Flat Washers (item 23)

• 10 #10 Lock Washers (item 24)

• 10 #10-32 Hex Nuts (item 25)

1) Place Drum Segment A on a flat, smooth work surface

with the flanged mixing fins facing upright. Align

one Drum Segment B along one side of Segment A,

matching up the holes in the fins.

2) Fasten Segment A to first Segment B using:

1 #10 Bolt (silver)

1 #10 Flat Washer

1 #10 Lock Washer

1 #10 Hex Nut at each of the five holes. Hand tighten

all bolts.

3) Attach the other Segment B to the other side of Segment

A the same way.

4) Using the flat head screwdriver and 3/8” (10 mm)

wrench, tighten all the fasteners.

The Support Frame for your ComposTumbler is now

assembled and ready to hold the drum. Move the frame

into its final position before placing the assembled drum on

it. Double check to make certain that all nuts and bolts are

tightly secured.

The Frame should be carefully positioned on level ground to

insure best results. Uneven placement can make the Tumbler

harder to turn.

Before operating, lubricate the 4 axle rod carrier sections.

STEP 7: Drum Assembly

Select:

• 1 Endcap (item 14)

• 1 Drum Body Assembly (from Step 6)

1) Place the endcap, name plate down, on work surface.

Note position of the screen on the endcap.

Carefully pick up the 3 sectioned partially assembled

drum from Step 1 and by bending it with the mixing fins

on the inside, fit it into the rim of the endcap, forming

three-quarters of the cylinder. Be careful to locate the

center panel (Segment A) adjacent to the screen and fit

the mixing fins on both sides of this segment into the

alignment slots of the endcap.

STEP 8: Latch Attachment

Select:

• 1 Door Frame Segment (item 15)

• 2 Latches (item 20)

• 2 Latch hooks (item 19)

• 4 #10 Bolts (silver) (item 22)

• 4 #10 Flat Washers (item 23)

• 4 #10 Lock Washers (item 24)

• 8 #10 Hex Nut (item 25)

• 4 #10 Screw with external tooth washer (item 31)

• 1 Door (item 21)

1) With the Door Frame Segment resting on the work

surface, attach the Latches to the panel on top of the

raised mounting holes with the hooks toward the opening

using: 1 #10 screw with external tooth washer and 1

#10-32 Hex Nut on each side of both Latches. Be sure

the Bolt is on the underside of the panel in the recess,

with the Hex Nut on top of the Latch. Use the phillips

head screwdriver and 3/8” wrench to tighten all Latch

mounting fasteners.

2) Position the Latch Hooks on the other side of the panel

opening with the hook ends toward the opening. Secure

them the same way as the latches, but make the fasteners

only hand tight. Use item 22,23,24,25.

3) Position the Door in place on the panel. Fit the notches

on one end of the Door into the Hooks on the panel, and

the hooks of the Latches into the notches on the other side

of the Door. Close the latches to check their tension, they

should “snap” closed, but should not be too difficult to

open. Loosen and adjust the Latch Hook fasteners to get

the proper tension, then tighten them with the flat head

screwdriver and 3/8” (10 mm) wrench.

4) Remove the Door for the next step.

STEP 9: Door Frame Assembly

Select:

• 16 Shoulder Bolts (gold) (item 29)

• 16 #10 Flatwashers (item 23)

• 16 #10-24 Locknuts (item 30)

1) Carefully fit the Door Frame Segment (with latches

installed) into the last open space of the Endcap to

complete the Drum cylinder, overlapping the adjoining

segments and lining up the hole patterns along both sides

and into the rim of the Endcap.

2) Starting from the bottom and working from the outside,

fasten the Door Frame Segment to the other Drum

segments using: 1 Shoulder Bolt (gold), 1 #10 Flat

Washer and 1 #10-24 Locknut at each of the eight slots

on both sides of the Door Frame Segment. The Washers

and Locknuts should be fastened inside the Drum body.

The slotted holes in these Drum Segments will allow

for adjustment to make placement of the second Endcap

easier. Use the Phillips screwdriver and 3/8” (10 mm)

wrench to turn the Locknuts onto the Bolts until the

nut bottoms out against the shoulder of the bolt. The

shoulder bolt should spin freely in the slotted hole and

not be so tight that the bolt and nut clamp the metal

panels together. If they do, loosen the nut 1/4 turn. This

is to accommodate subsequent movement of these panels

during operation resulting from changes in temperature.

STEP 10: Second Endcap Assembly

Select:

• 1 Endcap (item 14)

• 4 Tie Rods, 36 3/4” (0.9 m) (item 16)

• 8 Acorn Nuts 1/4” (6 mm) (item 26)

1) Position the second endcap over the open end of the

drum assembly, lining up the endcaps so that the screens

are directly opposite each other and the flanges in the

drum match the slots in the cap.

2) Lining up the two flanges furthest from the door frame

with their corresponding alignment slots, work that

part of the endcap carefully down onto the drum. Then,

working through the opening in the door frame, fit the

two remaining flanges into their slots, adjusting the fit of

the drum as necessary by sliding the door frame slightly.

Be sure that the edges of the drum fit snugly into the rim

of the endcap all the way around and that the flanges

inside the drum are all fitted into the alignment slots on

the cap.

3) Thread an acorn nut onto the end of one tie rod just until

the nut holds (about two turns). Insert the other end

of the tie rod through one of the four holes in the top

endcap and run the rod down through the opposite hole

in the bottom endcap. (Lead-ins have been provided to

make this step easier.)

4) Thread a second acorn nut onto the exposed end of the rod. If there is not enough exposed thread to start the nut or if the rod will

not go all the way through the drum, double check to make sure the drum edges are fitted all the way into the rim of the cap and the

flanges are in the alignment slots. If there is still a problem, loosen the acorn nut on the first end of the tie rod or press firmly on

both endcaps to seat them fully.

5) Repeat steps “3” and “4” with remaining three tie rods and six acorn nuts, connecting the three remaining pairs of holes in endcaps.

When all four rods have been positioned and secured, tighten all eight acorn nuts using an adjustable wrench at one end and a 7/16”

(11 mm) wrench at the other. Note: Do not overtighten.

STEP 11: Aerator Assembly

Select:

• 2 Aerator Outside Sections (item 17)

• 2 Aerator Inside Sections (item 18)

• 2 Bolts, 1/4” x 3 1/4” (6 mm x 8.25 cm) (item 27)

• 2 Wing Nuts (item 28)

• 1 Door (item 21)

1) Position one Aerator Outside Section on the outside of the Door.

2) Insert one Bolt through the Aerator Outside Section and hole in the Door.

3) Slip one Aerator Inside Section over the Bolt on the inside of the Door,

threading a Wing Nut onto the end of the Bolt until hand hand tight. Be

careful not to overtighten the assembly.

4) Repeat “1”, “2” and “3” with second aerator over the second hole in the

Door.

5) Check both aerators to make sure that the curve of the Door when it’s

in place on the drum and the contour of the outer portion of the aerator

match, and then apply slight pressure on Wing Nuts to hold assembly

firmly in place. Do not overtighten.

1) Attach Door to Drum.

STEP 12: Completion

1) Check the Support Frame to make sure that all four drive wheels are

pulled out against the anges on the axle rod carriers and that the spring

pins are all snugly tted into the slots in the wheel hubs.

2) Place the drum on the Support Frame so that when the door opening is

positioned on the same side of the Frame as the drive wheel handle, the

latches are on the bottom of the opening and the latch brackets are on top.

3) Adjust the position of the drum so that it is centered and resting evenly on

all four drive wheels. The ridged edges of the endcaps should be sitting

rmly on the gear sections of the wheel drives.

Your ComposTumbler is now completely assembled and ready to use.
