ELECTRIC RACK & PINION DISCHARGE

CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS

for use with the

13” MASS-TER FLOW

September 10, 2015

1. Remove the existing top cover from the discharge

spout for access to the drive shaft and gate. Retain

hardware for reassembly.

2. Remove and retain the roll pins securing the

sprockets to the shaft (See Fig. 1).

Loosen the lock collars on each side of the shaft.

Slide the existing shaft out of the weldment (it may

be necessary to use emery cloth or similar material

to clean any build-up on the shaft that may prevent

it from being pulled through the bearings).

Retain the sprockets for use when assembling the

conversion kit.

Installation Instructions

Before beginning assembly it is suggested to read through these instructions and lay out all items from

the kit to ensure all parts are accounted for. This not only helps you become familiar with the parts and

the assembly procedures, but also makes you aware of what tools, equipment or materials you may

need to complete the installation process.

These instructions are intended to be used as a guide for converting the 13” Mass-Ter Flow

manual discharge spout (P.N. 631302) to a discharge spout that utilizes an electrically operated

rack & pinion gate.

In order to mount the limit switch bracket to the

side channel, two 13/23” x 25/32” (10 mm x 20 mm)

slots must be cut into the bottom flange of the side

channel. Refer to Page 2 for the location and

dimensions of the slots.

Slot Locations for Limit Switch Bracket

1. Use the dimensions in the illustration below to determine location of the slots. Once slots are cut, make sure

all edges are smooth and free of burrs, or other material as determined by the method used for cutting the slots.

Installation Instructions (con’t.)

1. Slide a 5/16” flat washer onto two of the 5/16” x 1”

bolts and insert the bolts into the slotted holes on

the limit switch mount bracket.

Attach the limit switch to the bracket as shown in

Fig. 2. Secure the switch using two 3/16” x 1 1/2”

stover bolts and lock washers.

2. Position the bracket so the limit switch faces to the

inside of the slide gate weldment and the 5/16” x 1”

bolts line up with the slotted holes previously cut

into the side channel.

Secure the bracket using 5/16” flat washers, lock

washers and non-lock nuts, See Fig. 2 (it may be

necessary to adjust the limit switch for proper

operation, therefore the bolts can be left snug until

final adjustment).

Install the switch lever arm onto the limit switch.

The lever arm will also need adjustment to allow for

the 10° of travel required to engage the limit switch.

This will be adjusted during final assembly.

Install Shaft, Gearbox and Motor

1. Insert the new shaft (with keyway end towards drive

side) through one of the bearings, install the lock

collars and sprockets onto the shaft as it is slid

through and insert shaft into the other bearing

(ensure sprocket hubs are facing each other).

2. Locate the end of the shaft on the drive side (keyed

end) so it extends 7 3/4” (197 mm) from the side of

the weldment (See Fig. 3).

Secure lock collars to hold shaft in place.

3. Remove the hardware securing the drive side bearing.

Slide the gearbox mount plate onto the shaft. Loosely

fasten the plate using the hardware removed from

the bearing, inserting the bolt and flat washer

from the outside of the mount plate with the lock

washer and nut on the inside of the slide gate

weldment (See Fig. 3 below). Do Not tighten

completely at this time.

Fig. 3

5. Position the sprockets on the shaft, aligning them

with their respective mounting holes and secure

using the roll pins previously removed.

6. Temporarily position the slide gate on top of the

sprockets and check to see that the sprockets align

with the roller chains. If necessary, loosen the lock

collars and reposition the shaft to ensure sprockets

are properly aligned. Remove slide gate and tighten

lock collars.

7. Slide the gearbox and 1/4” x 4” long key onto the

shaft (See parts page on Page 5). Secure the

gearbox mount plate to the bottom of the gearbox

using four 3/8” x 1” bolts and lock washers, then

tighten the hardware securing the mount plate and

bearing to the side of the slide gate weldment.

8. Install the 1/2 HP electric motor onto gearbox using

the mounting hardware provided with the motor.

Install Slide Gate Stops

1. Use the dimensions in the illustration below to

determine location and orientation of the bracket

stops on the slide gate.

Once properly positioned, weld into place as shown

in Fig. 4.

WARNING! Use the proper personal

safety gear such as eye, ear and hand

protection when engaged in hot work.

Keep flammable materials away from

the work area.

WARNING! A main power disconnect

switch that can be locked in only the

“OFF” position shall be provided. This

shall be locked whenever work is being

done on the equipment.

Electric motors and controls shall be installed by a

qualified electrician and must meet the standards

set by the National Electric Code and all local and

state codes.

2. Connect power to the limit switch and electric motor.

3. Position the slide gate so that each sprocket is in

line with its respective roller chain and the limit switch

lever arm is positioned between the two stops (the

ends of the roller chain positioned closest to

the edge of the slide gate will be oriented

towards the sprockets).

Temporarily set the cover into position. Check the

distance between the top of the slide gate and

bottom of the cover. The slide gate should barely

contact the bottom of the cover.

If adjustment is required, loosen the hardware

securing the bearings, this will allow the shaft,

bearings and sprockets to be moved up or down for

correct positioning. Tighten bearing hardware once

slide gate is properly positioned.

4. Set the limit switch lever arm so that when the gate

is closed the limit switch is engaged and the motor

shuts off (lever arm has to rotate 10° from its home

position in order to engage the limit switch).

Check operation of gate opening and closing, adjust

limit switch arm as necessary to ensure proper

operation of the slide gate.

5. Install the cover and secure using the hardware

previously removed.
