STEP 3:

Disconnect the water hose (SKU SFHOSE32) and polish hose (SKU SFHOSE33) located behind the main drum using the Quick-Connect Release System.

NOTE

STEP 4:

Remove the ten (10) 13mm bolts, washers, and lock washers from the inside of the housing.

THESE HAVE BEEN SECURED WITH SILICONE AND

WILL REQUIRE CLEANING BEFORE RE-INSTALLATION.

STEP 5:

Remove silicone seal with paint scraper by forcing the scraper between the housing and the aluminum plate attached to the main frame.

NOTE

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO LOOSEN THE FOUR (4)

BOLTS IN THE ELECTRICAL HOUSING TO REMOVE

THE MAIN BALL HOUSING

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN BREAKING THE SILICONE SEAL.

SCRAPING THE PAINT, SCRATCHING THE METAL, BENDING THE HOUSING,

OR ALUMINUM PLATE CAN CAUSE WATER LEAKS AFTER RE-INSTALLATION.

ALSO, BE AWARE OF WHERE THE BALL RETAINER ASSEMBLY, WATER &

POLISH HOSE ASSEMBLY, DRAIN HOSE ASSEMBLY, AND THE

PLUNGER ASSEMBLY ARE LOCATED; FORCING THE SCRAPER TOO FAR UNDER THE

HOUSING FRAME CAN DAMAGE THESE ASSEMBLIES.

NOTE

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

Before reversing STEPS 4 through 1, pay special attention to the aluminum plate, the bottom of the main housing frame, and the bolts from STEP 3 – these all need to be thoroughly cleaned and scraped of all remaining silicone. Failure to properly clean these parts can result in water leakage issues.

➤ METAL RETAINER RING

(SKU SF9)

REQUIRED TOOLS:

1. 6mm Allen Wrench

STEP 1:

NOTE

AS WITH THE BOLTS IN STEP 1, THE METAL RETAINER RING

(SKU SF9) MAY BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

TWISTING THE ASSEMBLY IN PLACE AS IT IS LIFTED MAY AID

IN THE REMOVAL PROCESS.

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

Reverse STEPS as normal for re-installation paying special attention to STEP 1: Due to the design of the metal retainer ring, the bolts from STEP 1 need to be tightened enough to keep the ring from assembly from turning in place while the machine operates, but not enough to break the machined aluminum collar; over-tightening these bolts can cause this collar to break.

➤ RETAINER RING INNE

R COLLAR

(SKU SF9A)

REQUIRED TOOLS:

1. 13mm Wrench

STEP 1:

Follow the Metal Retainer Ring removal procedure

(page 26).

S E R V I C E M A N U A L ( C O N T I N U E D )

RE-ASSEMBLY:

When re-installing the center drum plate, it is necessary to get the correct alignment before re-installing the four (4) bolts. This is achieved by aligning the 5th hole located on the plate with the alignment hole found on center shaft assembly.

NOTE

ON SOME UNITS, THIS 5TH ALIGNMENT HOLE IS THREADED;

THE ALIGNMENT HOLE DOES NOT REQUIRE A BOLT.

➤ DISK ROTATION BELTS

(SKU SF36)

REQUIRED TOOLS:

1. 17mm Wrench

STEP 1:

Loosen the four (4) 17mm bolts located on the bottom of the disk rotation motor (SKU SF35).

NOTE

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ACCESS THE MOTOR

FROM BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK PANELS.

STEP 2:

Slide the motor towards the central wheel set assembly to relieve the tension on the belts.

35

STEP 3:

Remove and replace the belts as necessary: Disk Rotation V-Belt A-38 (SKU SF36).

ALTHOUGH THE BELTS CAN BE FORCED OFF

WITHOUT RELIEVING THE TENSION,

THIS CAN DAMAGE THE MOTOR, THE PULLEY,

OR INJURE THE USER AND IS THEREFORE NOT ENDORSED.

NOTE

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

After the new belts have been realigned, it may be necessary to pull the motor away from the central pulley assembly with one hand while tightening the bolts with the other. When doing so, it is important to get the belts tight enough to avoid slippage, but loose enough as to not damage the motor.

NOTE

THERE ARE EIGHT (8) RUBBER SHOCK ABSORBERS THAT HELP

ELIMINATE VIBRATION AND WEAR ON THE MOTOR SHAFT.

THESE SHOULD BE TIGHTENED ENOUGH

TO HOLD THE MOTOR IN PLACE,

BUT NOT SO TIGHT AS TO

COMPLETELY COMPRESS THE RUBBER.

➤ TURN TABLE BELT

(SKU SF4A26)

REQUIRED TOOLS:

1. 17mm Wrench

STEP 1:

Follow the Disk Rotation Belts removal procedure (page 35).

STEP 2:

Loosen the two (2) 17mm bolts located on the bottom of the motor bracket mounts.

STEP 3:

Slide the motor towards the central wheel set assembly to relieve the tension on the belt.

NOTE

STEP 4:

Remove and replace the belt as necessary:

• Disk Rotation V-Belt A-26 (SKU SF4A26).

ALTHOUGH THE BELT CAN BE FORCED OFF WITHOUT

RELIEVING THE TENSION, THIS CAN DAMAGE THE MOTOR,

THE PULLEY, OR INJURE THE USER AND IS THEREFORE

NOT ENDORSED.

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

It is very important to keep the belt and the roller track guide aligned. The roller track guide will help keep tension on the belt and also keep the belt from jumping off the pulley. When re-installing the belt, pull the motor directly backwards to create a moderate amount of tension before tightening the bolts loosened in STEP 2.

V E R S I O N 2

(SKU SF56M)

REQUIRED TOOLS:

1.

6mm Allen Wrench

2.

Optional:

Wire Cutters

➤ VERSION 1 – MICRO SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(SKU SF38)

STEP 1:

Disconnect 4-pin molex harness leading from the four (4) micro switch sensor assembly to the main circuit board and remove the yellow power cord from the assembly.

STEP 2:

Remove two (2) 6mm hex head bolts connecting the metal bracket to the main support plate.

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

When re-attaching the micro switch assembly, it is important to get the spacing and alignment correct.

Since the micro switch assembly is soldered, the order of individual switches should stay the same unless the factory installed wires are removed or re-attached. In the event the wires have been changed, verify the order (from top to bottom):

• Green • Orange • Brown • Violet •

Place the assembly so the GREEN wire is on the top, closest to the main support plate.

Hand tighten the two (2) hex head bolts so that the assembly can slide back or forwards.

Assuming the turn table assembly is locked in place by the solenoid plunger mechanism, the micro switch assembly should be slid forward until three of the four micro-switches are triggered; when they trigger, there should be an audible “clicking” telling you the circuit is now closed.

When the assembly is in proper alignment, there should be a 1/16” gap between the body of the micro switch assembly and the clear acrylic CAM plates. Once the assembly has been aligned, tighten the two (2) hex head bolts to keep the assembly from shifting. Verify that the clear acrylic CAM plate assembly is in the correct order (page 65).

➤ VERSION 2 – INDUCTIVE SENSOR ASSEMBLY

(SKU SF11CAM)

STEP 1:

Remove two (2) 6mm hex head bolts connecting the metal bracket to the main support plate.

STEP 2:

In order to loosen or remove the inductive sensor assembly, it may be necessary to use the wire cutters to carefully cut any Zip ties that may be prohibiting movement of the assembly.

NOTE

THESE SENSORS ARE PRE-WIRED FROM THE FACTORY. IF ONE OF THE SENSORS

GOES BAD, BOTH SENSORS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF REPLACING THESE SENSORS,

IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE BOTH THE #1 MACHINED CAM PLATE

AND #1 SENSOR ALIGN. BOTH THE INDUCTIVE SENSOR AND THE MACHINED CAM PLATE

SHOULD HAVE ENGRAVING INDICATING THE NUMBER.

7.

S E R V I C E M A N U A L ( C O N T I N U E D )

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

When re-attaching the inductive sensor assembly, the plate must be moved within 1/8” of the machined

CAM plate, but no closer than 1/16”. If the sensors are moved too close to the machined CAM plate, during normal operation, it may damage or destroy the sensors.

STEP 3:

Once all four (4) set screws have been removed, use the pulley remover to carefully remove the bottom pulley from the central wheel set assembly shaft.

MAKE SURE THAT THE ARMS ON THE PULLEY REMOVER

ARE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED BEFORE REMOVING,

OTHERWISE UNEVEN PRESSURE WILL

DAMAGE OR BREAK THE RIMS ON THE PULLEYS.

NOTE

STEP 4:

After the pulleys from STEP 3 and the CAM plate assemblies from STEP 1 have been removed, use the pliers to remove the key from the key-way located on the central shaft.

S E R V I C E M A N U A L ( C O N T I N U E D )

STEP 6:

After the pulleys from STEP 3 have been removed, the clear acrylic CAM plate assembly or the machined CAM plate assembly should easily slide off of the central wheel set assembly.

NOTE

BOTH VERSION 1 AND VERSION 2 OF THE

CAM PLATE ASSEMBLIES HAVE NUMBERED ENGRAVING

ON THEM SIGNIFYING ORDER FOR RE-INSTALLATION.

WHEN RE-INSTALLING, ENSURE THAT THE #1 CAM

IS LOCATED ON THE TOP-MOST PORTION OF

THE ASSEMBLY.

STEP 7:

Remove the key from the key-way located on the secondary shaft.

STEP 8:

Use a 6mm allen wrench to remove the four (4) hex head bolts located on the bottom of the main machine plate.

NOTE

USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THESE BOLTS AS THEY ARE EXTREMELY TIGHT

AND WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TORQUE TO RELEASE

FROM THEIR TIGHTENED POSITION.

STEP 9:

After the pulleys and four (4) bolts have been removed, open the ball door lid and gently rock the shaft in a circular motion to loosen the seal and break the rim of silicone located around the outside edge of the central wheel set assembly.

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

Before reversing STEPS 5 through 1, it is necessary to clean the central wheel set assembly shaft with a metal file to insure safe installation of the pulley assemblies located on both the top and bottom of the central wheel set assembly shaft.

Cleaning, as referred to in this manual, is the removal of any protrusions, burrs, or snags that may inhibit the re-installation of the pulley or assembly.

NOTE

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO REPLACE THE RUBBER 0-RING AFTER THE

ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MAIN MACHINE PLATE.

THE REASON IS THIS O-RING WILL WEAR OVER TIME

AND IS THE PRIMARY LINE OF DEFENSE

AGAINST WATER LEAKAGE. ALSO, IF THE MACHINE

HAS SIGNIFICANT USE OR IS OVER THREE YEARS OLD,

IT MAY BE WORTH REPLACING THE BEARINGS AND SEALS.

ELECTRICAL NOTES:

If the motor fails to rotate when the machine is run, check the disk rotation motor (SKU SF35) for functionality using the diagnostic power cord (SKU SF37). If the motor operates using the diagnostic power cord, verif y the wiring, wiring harness, and circuit board connection have not become loose, corroded, or broken. If the motor still fails to start, it is possible that one or more of the electrical components have failed. If so, large KSC4803 capacitor (SKU SF35AKSC), the square DMF-25605 capacitor (SKU SF35ADMF), or the MECS-12R700L5 electronic centrifugal switch (SKU SF35AMAG) may have failed.

Do not attempt to replace these components unless you are a certified electrician.

STEP 3:

Remove the four (4) 5mm hex head allen bolts located on the bottom of the retainer shaft to remove the retainer CAM arm.

STEP 4:

Remove the four (4) 5mm hex head allen bolts connecting the retainer shaft assembly to the main plate.

NOTE

RETAINER SHAFT ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE A LIGHT BEAD OF SILICONE

AROUND THE OUTSIDE PORTION OF THE ASSEMBLY WHERE IT IS

CONNECTED TO THE MAIN PLATE AND EXPOSED TO WATER.

THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO REPLACE THE O-RING (SKU SFOR2)

FOR FUTURE WATER LEAKAGE PREVENTION.

STEP 5:

(optional)

REMOVAL OF THE RETAINER CAM ARM MOUNTING PLATE:

To remove the mounting plate for the retainer CAM arm, loosen or remove the two (2) 4mm allen hex head set screws located on the mounting plate. It may be necessary to use a pulley remover to remove the plate.

NOTE

BEFORE RE-INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE TO CLEAN REMOVE ALL

PROTRUSIONS, BURRS, OR SNAGS THAT MAY INHIBIT

THE RE-INSTALLATION OF THE MOUNTING PLATE.

RE-ASSEMBLY NOTES:

Before re-installing the retainer shaft assembly, it is a good idea to replace all seals and bearings. For schematics on which bearings and seals to order see page 60.

Alignment is important for proper ball rotation. The CAM arm should be roughly 60 degrees turned compared to the metal retainer ring if examined from above. If, when the assembly is in the zero/home position as determined by the inductive sensor located on the retainer assembly plate, and the ball is not centered on center pad located in main housing, the ball retainer ring may be loosened and adjusted as necessary.

STEP 2:

(optional)

Depending on the procedure, it may be easier to remove the retainer CAM arm from the assembly to create more workspace. If this is desired, the retainer CAM arm can be removed after removing four (4) 4mm hex head allen bolts from the bottom of the retainer shaft assembly.

NOTE

ALIGNMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR PROPER BALL ROTATION.

THE CAM ARM SHOULD BE ROUGHLY 60 DEGREES

TURNED COMPARED TO THE METAL RETAINER RING,

IF PICTURED FROM ABOVE. IF, WHEN THE ASSEMBLY IS

IN THE ZERO/HOME POSITION AS DETERMINED BY THE

INDUCTIVE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE RETAINER ASSEMBLY

PLATE AND THE BALL IS NOT CENTERED ON CENTER PAD

LOCATED IN MAIN HOUSING, THE BALL RETAINER RING

MAY BE LOOSENED AND ADJUSTED AS NECESSARY.

STEP 3:

The CAM plate can be removed by removing the four (4)

5mm hex head allen bolts located on the top of the motor assembly.

NOTE

THE CAM PLATE SHOULD SELF-ALIGN

SO LONG AS THE LARGE BOLT LOCATED

ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PLATE IS

PROPERLY ALIGNED TO THE INDUCTIVE SENSOR.

THE GAP BETWEEN THE BOLT AND THE SENSOR

SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1/8 INCH.

STEP 4:

To remove the CAM plate mount, loosen or remove the two (2) 4mm hex head allen set screws located on the side of the motor shaft. A pulley remover may be necessary to remove this mounting plate.

NOTE

MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ANY PROTRUSIONS, BURRS, OR SNAGS LOCATED

ON THE KEY-WAY, KEY, MOUNTING PLATE, OR SHAFT BEFORE RE-INSTALLATION.

STEP 5:

After the CAM plate and CAM plate mount have been removed, the motor can be removed from the main mounting plate. To remove the motor and gear box assembly, unscrew the four (4) Phillips bolts and lower the entire unit. Use caution when removing these bolts as the motor and gear box assembly are separate units and can free-fall if both are not secured when the last bolt is removed.

NOTE

THE GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY IS A COMPLETE

MANUFACTURER FINISHED PART AND

CANNOT BE REPAIRED ALA CARTE.

IF THE GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONS,

THE ENTIRE GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY (SKU SF2GB)

WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

STEP 6:

The capacitor may be attached to the assembly in a few different ways: either bolted directly to the mounting plate; attached by a construction grade rubber adhesive; or via Zip ties. Depending on the method it was attached, use a “best judgement” approach when removing the capacitor

(SKU SF2AC) DMF 251506 SH.

NOTE

IF DETACHING ONE OR MORE OF THE ELECTRIC WIRES, MAKE NOTATION

DOCUMENTING WHERE EACH WIRE HARNESS WAS REMOVED FROM.

THE FACTORY WIRING SHOULD HAVE THE POWER WIRE (RED)

AND SECONDARY POWER CABLE TO THE MOTOR (WHITE) .

THIS CAPACITOR IS POLARITY SENSITIVE;

INCORRECT WIRING CAN RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT,

DAMAGE TO THE UNIT, OR POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

STEP 7:

The green inductive sensor may be removed from the plate using two (2) 24mm wrenches.

NOTE

WHEN REPLACING THIS INDUCTIVE SENSOR, THE HEIGHT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

THE GAP BETWEEN THE BOLT (LOCATED ON THE RETAINER CAM)

AND THE SENSOR SHOULD BE BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/16 OF AN INCH.

IF THE GAP IS TOO SMALL, THE BOLT MAY DAMAGE OR DESTROY

THE SENSOR DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

DISTANCES GREATER THAN 1/8 MAY CAUSE THE MACHINE

TO GET A FALSE NEGATIVE AND GIVE A DISK ERROR.

STEP 8:

If necessary, the main mounting plate can be removed from the main plate. To remove the mounting plate, remove the four (4) 13mm bolts located on the underside of the plate.

USE CAUTION

Make sure the spring from STEP 1 has been removed to avoid damaging the machine.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS:

In general, the electrical components will either work correctly, or they will not work at all.

If one or more of the electrical components fail, refer to the diagram located on the inside of the machine and confirm all connections are still firmly attached to the circuit board.

If the problem is intermittent, remove the cable(s) from the circuit board(s).

Use a dry duster to clean the connections and check for any corrosion.

If the connections appear to be in good shape, re-install the connectors.
