Cotter Pin Substitution - ELMECO B Large Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

Cotter pin substitution

Warning: The following operations must be performed only by qualified personnel.
If the machine works but the augers do not turn, it is possible that the cotter pin, (item 35 of the exploded view at
pag.26) that connects the gear motor to the transmission shaft, broke down.
Disconnect the power electric cable
After removing the cover, you can see the breakdown trying to lift the ring that fix the vertical auger (item 14 of the
exploded view at pag.26). It can happen that it is blocked or that, if you lift it, it carries away the transmission shaft with
it (item 15 of the exploded view at pag.26).
In the first case, after removing the back and side panels, it is necessary to control that the transmission shaft base is as
high as the gear motor (exit shaft). The lift pin could be in the hole of the gear motor slow shaft but it should be
deformed or broken (see pic.a).
In the second case, the hole in the gear motor should be completely empty (see pic.b) and some remnants of the split
pin will certainly lie in the machine.
It is therefore necessary to install a new split pin.
 Place the transmission shaft so as its hole is aligned with the one present on the gear motor exit shaft; it should be
evident when they are aligned (see pic.b);
 Insert the split pin as shown in the pic.c and pic.d;
 Verify that the head of the split pin, in its rotation, does not touch the gear motor and respects a minimum distance.
Warning: do not reuse, in any case, the old split pin.
