STEP 6: Frame/Drum Assembly

Select:

• 1 Drum Assembly (from Step 4)

• 1 Axle Rod (item 9)

• 2 Legs (item 10)

• 1 Brace (item 11)

• 2 1/4” Lock Nuts (item 12)

• 2 Flatwashers, 1/4” (6 mm) (item 13)

• 2 Bolts, 1/4” x 3-1/4” (6 mm x 8.25 cm) (item 15)

• 2 Axle Bushings (item 16)

• 2 Axle Rod Caps (item 17)

• 4 Frame Caps (item 27)

1) Tap an Axle Rod Cap evenly onto one end only of the Axle Rod.

2) Pass the Rod through the cross-hole in a Leg and through the small tube of the Brace.

3) Noting the position of the rst Leg to the Brace, hold the second Leg in the same position, and slide it over the other end of the Axle

Rod. Tap the second Axle Rod Cap rmly onto the end of the Axle Rod.

4) Rotate the Brace so the hole in one end aligns with those of the Leg. Make sure both attened Brace ends rest on the outside of the

Leg. Pass a 3-1/4” (8.25 cm) Bolt through both parts. Keep the Bolts loose and just through the tubing. Do not use any other Hardware

yet. Repeat this step for the other side.

5) Position the Drum Assembly (with Door) between the Frame Legs so the Handle on the Door faces FRONT. Now remove the Door and

carefully work the 3-1/4” (8.25 cm) Bolts in the Frame through the center holes of both Endcaps.

6) From inside the Drum, insert an Axle Bushing over the end of the Bolt and into the center hole of the Endcap. Now place a Flatwasher

over the Bolt and against the Axle Bushing and secure it with a Lock Nut, tightening only until the Flatwasher is snug against the Axle

Bushing. Repeat this step for the other side.

7) Insert the four Frame Caps into the open ends of each leg.

Your ComposTumbler is now completely assembled and ready to use.
