# Intake

## Step 1

Press the 1/2" Rounded Hex bearing into the Intake Side Plate. Repeat this step for the other side. Be sure to press the bearing in from the opposite side so that the bearing flanges are on opposite sides of the plates.

## Step 2

Install a #35 Chain 30t Plate Sprocket onto one of the Intake Side Plates from Step 1 using #10-32 x 3/4"L bolts and #10-32 Nuts.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Printed Spacer is designed with a C-Bore specifically to meant to allow the spacer and bearing to sit flush against each other.

Ensure that the C-Bore is on the same side as the bearing flange.

## Step 3

Mount a Bearing Retention Plate and Roller Center Plate using two #10-32 x 1/2"L bolts to the second Intake Side Plate from Step 1 to  fully capture the 1/2" Rounded Hex Bearing.

## Step 4

Press a 5/8" ID Tube Connecting Nut into each end of the 3/4" OD Standoffs.&#x20;

Installing the Tube Connecting Nuts can be done using an Arbor press or a dead blow hammer.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 3/4" OD tubes are referred to as **Standoffs**, as they are used to add rigidity to the intake and reduce sag or flex that could otherwise occur during operation.
{% endhint %}

## Step 5

Install 1-1/4" OD Silicone Tubing onto the Rollers shown below.

{% hint style="success" %}
We recommend spraying the inside of the silicone tubing and the outside of the round tubing with Simple Green or soapy water to make the installation process easier.
{% endhint %}

## Step 6

Refer back to the <a href="/spaces/ZFpeyLzrE29cgyWyQDsF" class="button primary" data-icon="book-open">Stub Roller Manual</a> to assemble the WCP Stub Rollers.&#x20;

There should be one 1-1/8" OD Stub Roller Hub and five of the 20t Pulley Stub Roller Hubs assembled.&#x20;

## Step 7

Mount the assembled Stub rollers onto the Rollers from Step 5 using #10-32 x 1/4"L bolts as shown below.

## Step 8

Install the fully assembled Roller Tubes from Step 7 to the Intake Side Plates from Step 2 & 3 as shown below.&#x20;

## Step 9

Mount the Kraken X60 and pulley onto the Intake Side Plate using the 1-1/2"L Spacers and #10-32 x 2"L bolts.

## Step 10

Install the 3/4" OD Standoffs from Step 4 onto the assembly from Step 9 using #10-32 x 3/4"L Bolts.

## Step 11

Install the 1/2" Round Shaft and 1/2" Round Collars as shown below.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 1/2" Round Shaft will act as the Intake Pivot HardStop and help minimize torsion that can be found within the assembly during use.
{% endhint %}
