Fig. 6 Some machines will have a slide gate
or maintenance gate located above the me-
chanical valve. This should be closed to allow
removal of the mechanical valve without
draining the shot from the hopper. If the ma-
chine does not have a slide gate (this ma-
chine did not), you must drain the hopper into
a suitable container. Drain the shot from the
hopper using a hose or chute to guide the
shot into a drum or receptacle.
Fig. 7 Next, remove air hoses
from air cylinder and terminate
the air supply line coming from
the air compressor. With the
slide gate closed (if available) or
with the hopper empty you can
now loosen the bolts from the
top of the mechanical valve can
be loosened.
