Overview

The PXE 100 lid can come out of alignment. An out of alignment lid has one side of the lid resting higher than another side of the lid.

Procedure

  1. Close and lock the lid.

  2. Remove the back panel.

  3. Remove the weights from the weight carrier and bolt weight carrier to frame.

  4. Identify the eight bolts (4 on each side of the lid) that attach the hook arm.

  5. Loosen all eight bolts and push down the front weight arms to realign the carrier.

    Placing a lot of weight on top will force the lid to sit fully down in the correct position.

  6. Replace the split ring washer for each bolt.

  7. When the lid is flush with the vat, tighten each bolt.

    Tightening the bolts all at once will put the lid out of alignment.
