Installation

Figure 1—Replace Buffing Sleeves

1.

Pull buffing assembly up through front of machine
and replace existing upper buffing sleeves with
the new larger diameter upper buffing sleeve
supplied with this kit.  See Figure 1.

Important: Be sure to replace the sleeve on the
UPPER buffing arm, NOT on the lower buffing
arm.

2.

The S867/S857 "U" Clip Modification Kit requires
four tapped holes in the top surface of the L-clip
applicator.  Some older S857 applicators do not
have these holes.  If not, the holes must be
located, drilled, and tapped.  Use the enclosed
hole template and follow Steps A–E on the
template.  If your machine already has these
holes, skip this step.

3.

Attach mounting bracket to the front edge of the
L-clip applicator with two 10-24 x 1/2 capscrews
and plain washers as shown in Figure 2.

4.

Remove the T-fitting from end of poly tubing on
modification kit.  Push end of fitting in to release
tubing.  See Figure 2.

5.

Unlatch and open right side cover on the L-clip
applicator.  Feed poly tubing through hole in left
side of applicator (Figure 3A) and route behind
existing tubing towards back of applicator (Figure
3B).

Note: Be sure tubing does not interfere with any
moving parts of applicator.  The 32.5" tube must
be cut to 13.5" length if installed on a S857.
