IMPORTANT: This elbow is designed for use with standard 4” top seal
service station adapters. To properly operate and maintain your Bayco “6400
series” elbow the following instructions are provided. Please read with care as
improper handling or maintenance may cause a hazardous condition.
CAUTION: Do not modify your Bayco 6400 series elbow for any reason. It
can result in a hazardous condition due to operating difficulties or
operation malfunction. Disassembly or tampering will void the product
warranty.
Never smoke or allow an open flame near your dispenser when
handling volatile materials such as gasoline and fuels. An explosion
could result. Remember safety is everyone’s business.
Installation: When the 6400 Series elbow is shipped, the sight glass and
gaskets are in a plastic bag attached to the elbow. These must be
installed with the required mating Bayco inlet (3” or 4” male or female
purchased separately). Take the sight glass and gaskets out of the
plastic bag and place one gasket inside the elbow inlet end and make
sure it is sealed evenly. Carefully (keep straight) slide the sight glass
into the inlet end and onto the installed gasket. Place the other
gasket inside the inlet and on the sight glass. Attach the mating inlet
using the four socket head cap screws supplied. Coat cap screws
with anti-seize compound.
Lubricate Stem: A grease nipple is provided to lubricate the locking stem.
Bayco supplies the elbow with the stem already lubricated. However
we recommend relubricating using lithium based or quality automotive
type grease prior to service. LUBRICATE THE STEM AND CAM
ARM BEARINGS MONTHLY. REGULAR LUBRICATION
PREVENTS BUILD-UP OF DIRT, ROAD SALT AND OTHER
CONTAMINANTS FROM AFFECTING THE LOCKING SYSTEM.
Check Operation: Place elbow bottom end on service station adapter (elbow
is designed for use with 4” top seal adapter only). Move operators
handle to 11 o’clock the open/unclamped position. Release and hold
the safety latch if equipped with one. Move the handle clockwise to 2
o’clock position for full clamping (lever cannot be moved any farther).
Check locking arms on adapter. If the elbow is fitted with a safety
latch, make sure the stem pin is in the latch notch, preventing
movement of operating handle. Release by moving handle to 11
o’clock. If fitted with safety latch, lift the latch lever and operating
lever at the same time.
Care & Handling: Bayco drop elbows are tested at the factory and are in
proper working condition when shipped. Drop elbows are designed to
be tough and to provide long service with reasonable care and
handling. To ensure long service Bayco elbows should not be thrown,
dropped or dragged; such actions may compromise the integrity and
reduce the service life of the product.
Inspect for Damage: Drop elbows can fail to operate if not properly
maintained. If the #6400 elbow develops any problems, remove from
service and contact your Dixon Bayco distributor describing the
difficulty. Elbows should be inspected monthly. Check the main
gasket seal, the sight glass, and the flange where the base is
attached to the elbow body for any signs of leakage. Change seals if
necessary. Check the sight glass for cracks or damage and replace if
needed. Check and tighten all fasteners periodically. Lubricate the
lever stem. Check the bushings and replace if cracked or worn, and
change if required. Check operation as per above.
Regularly Replace Bushings: All Bayco 6200 and 6400 series elbows
contain polymer bushings, which protect and extend service life of
bronze locking arms. The bushings are designed to wear (instead of
the bronze arms) and should be replaced every few months.
Operators must be encouraged to inspect and replace polymer
bushings to obtain maximum elbow performance and longevity.
Optional Accessories: The following accessories are included on specific
6400 elbows, and are available as add on options for other 6400
elbows.
Safety latch kit # 6200SLK and extension kit # 6400EXT.
Installation instructions are included with the items when ordered for
retrofit.
