SPACING:
Minimum bucket spacing has historically been nominal
projection plus 2". Many Nu-Hy buckets, however, are being used at
projection plus 1"
,
and some even closer. For engineering purposes
Tapco recommends using nominal projection plus 2".
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing fabricated
buckets. If different weight buckets are mixed in, some care should
be taken that the leg does not become too far out of balance. Check
elevator for proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
INSTALLATION:
Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are
recommended for pulleys 6" in diameter and over. No. 3 Eclipse
slotted head elevator bolts are recommended for pulleys under 6" in
diameter.
Flat steel washers must be placed inside the bucket
under the nuts.
Check elevator for proper clearances. Contact Tapco
for recommendations.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking
proper precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent
explosion.
