To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

19. Drive Belt Tension

Refer to Figure 1.
NOTE: If cylinder belts will be adjusted, service them before drive belt.
NOTE: To find the proper tension, apply light thumb pressure midway between the sheave and motor pulley, and adjust until the belt can be depressed approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm).

22. Cylinder Clearance

The clearance between the cylinder rim and front panel must be adjusted so the cylinder is centered within the front panel opening when the cylinder is fully loaded and is turning. However, the adjustment should be made when the cylinder is empty.
NOTE: If the cylinder is not properly adjusted, the cylinder rim will rub against the front panel.
a. Open loading door. b. Check the gap between the center of the front
panel top flange and the cylinder rim. Proper adjustment is when the gap is 8/32 inch ± 3/32 inch. Refer to Figure 4. Perform steps “a” through “g” to adjust the cylinder rim/front panel flange clearance.
c. Check the cylinder fore/aft clearance between
the inside front of the cylinder and the edge of the front panel flange. Proper adjustment is when the gap is 9/32 inch ± 1/32 inch. Refer to Figure 4. Perform steps “h” through “m” to adjust the cylinder fore/aft clearance.
Cylinder Rim/Front Panel Flange Clearance Adjustment
a. Support corner drive guard and remove screws
holding corner guard to rear of tumbler.
b. Support drive guard cover and remove screws
holding guard to rear of tumbler.
c. Loosen rear bearing mounting screws. Refer to
Figure 5.
d. Loosen the locknuts on rear adjustment screws.
Refer to Figure 5.
e. Turn the adjusting screws in or out as necessary
to obtain proper clearance between cylinder rim and front panel.
f. After the cylinder is properly adjusted, tighten
the adjusting screw locknuts and the rear bearing mounting screws.
g. Install drive guard cover.
NOTE: If adjusting the trunnion housing fails to correct the clearance, the problem is probably due to a worn trunnion shaft or defective bearings.
Cylinder Fore/Aft Clearance Adjustment
h. Support corner drive guard and remove screws
holding corner guard to rear of tumbler.
i. Support drive guard cover and remove screws
holding guard to rear of tumbler.
j. Loosen setscrews in the front bearing assembly
collar and rear bearing assembly collar. Refer to Figure 5.
k. Move cylinder assembly in or out as necessary
to obtain proper clearance between the cylinder and the front panel.
l. After the cylinder is properly adjusted, tighten
setscrews in the front and rear bearing assembly collars.
m. Install drive guard cover.
NOTE: Turning the adjusting screws clockwise will raise the cylinder and turning them counter­clockwise will lower the cylinder. Turn both screws evenly to adjust top and bottom clearance. Turn one or the other adjusting screw in or out to adjust side clearance.
