Removing a Pot
To remove a pot from a machine: Remove the plunger, dip as much metal out of the pot as possible. Lower the first elevator to the vise cap, and let vise down to second position. Remove the mold slide. Take off the pot leg caps. Loosen the front adjusting screws in the pot legs. Loosen the nut on the pot lever eyebolt, to release the spring tension. Take out the pot lever shaft, and remove the pot lever. Take off the mold disk shield and pump stop bracket. The pot can then be lifted out by placing a rope through the supports on the jacket for the pot lever shaft, so that the pot can be raised up while it is being guided out of the machine by taking hold of the bottom of the pot legs.
