Wibur Curtis Company MCD-7 - Manual (Page 3)

1. Remove the hopper. The hopper is held in place by a screw (5) and nut (6) on both sides
of the upper of hopper.
2. Remove the round black knob (21) on the handle. Unthread it by twisting counterclockwise.
3. Remove the bottom screw (9) on the side plate
(don't lose the arm stop (7) that it screws into).
Also, on the side plate (8), remove the top screw
and the other stop (7) that it is threaded into.
Take off the side plate.
4. The next step is to remove the drum and shaft
assembly (10). To do this, lay the unit on it's side
with the handle pointing up. Grab the handle (20)
with your right hand. Reach inside the MCD-7
and push against the opposite wall with the flat
of your left hand while with your right hand you
pull up on the handle (figure 3.). The walls are
flexible enough so that with a little tugging you
can dislodge the shaft from the hole in the left
side of the wall.
5. Once free, pull the handle through the hole on
the right side of the MCD-7 (figure 4.) and lift out
the drum and shaft assembly.
6. To get off the broken return spring (17), you will
have to separate the handle from the plastic
drum. The easiest way is to clamp the metal
andle in a vise, grab the drum with both hands
and then just yank off the drum with a firm tug.
7. Take off the collar by loosening the set screw
with an Allen wrench. Take notice of the spring
position.
Replacing the Handle Return Spring
With use, there may be an occasion where the handle return spring breaks. If this happens,
the handle will no longer automatically lift after being pulled down. The MCD-7 is still usable
simply by lifting up the handle to the top position after pulling down to dispense coffee. This
part can be replaced. Using the illustrated parts breakdown as a guide will help identify the
parts referred to in these instructions. The index numbers in parentheses ( ) will match those
in the parts breakdown.
