STEP 11: Struts & Braces Assembly
Select:
• 1 Drum and Frame Leg Assembly
• 2 Struts (item 23)
• 2 Braces (item 21)
• 6 Bolts, 1/4" x 1 1/2" (6 mm x 3.8 cm) (item 33)
• 1 Bolt, 1/4" x 3/4" (6 mm x 19 mm) (item 34)
• 7 1/4" (6 mm) Lockwashers (item 35)
• 7 1/4" (6 mm) Nuts (item 36)
Note: The hole near the middle of a Strut is for
attaching the Braces as shown. Make sure the Strut is
properly positioned so you do not need to disassemble it
later.
1) Position the flattened face of one Strut against the
outside of the Drive Assembly and secure it with a 1/4"
x 1 1/2" (6 mm x 3.8 cm) Bolt, 1/4" (6 mm) Lockwasher
and 1/4" (6 mm) Nut. Repeat for the other Strut.
2) Push a 1/4" x 1 1/2" (6 mm x 3.8 cm) Bolt through the
hole near the end of a Frame Leg and position the end
of the Strut over the Bolt as well. Next, place the end
of one Brace over the Bolt and against the inside of the
Strut and secure it with a 1/4" (6 mm) Lockwasher and
1/4" (6 mm) Nut. On the opposite side, attach the other
Strut and Brace similarly.
3) Attach the second Brace to the top of the first Brace
using the 1/4" x 3/4" (6 x 19 mm) Bolt, a 1/4" (6 mm)
Lockwasher and 1/4" (6 mm) Nut. Then secure the
ends of the upper Brace to the insides of the Struts
using 1/4" x 1 1/2" (6 mm x 3.8 cm) Bolts, 1/4" (6 mm)
Lockwashers and 1/4" (6 mm) Nuts.
STEP 12: Positioning the Assembly
1) Carefully tip the unit onto its support frame. Then attach
the door to the unit.
Your ComposTumbler is now completely assembled and ready to use.
