The finished shaker Note:the needle valve should be attatched to the tee in this photo.
  • Thread tape is necessary between each connection unless otherwise stated.
  • Always wrap thread tape clockwise when facing the threaded portion.
  • Always keep the end caps on hoses and fittings until you need to take them off. They need to stay protected inside.
  • Clamp the motor in a vise so that the side opposite the shaft is facing up.
  • Remove the plug and install the SAE 4 adapter. This connection (and any others with an o-ring in general) doesn't need thread tape. Remove from vise.
  • Your motor will probably have fluid in it, so take care that the fluid doesn't leak everywhere when you remove the plug.
  • Clamp the needle valve in the vise and tighten a 1/2" nipple into it. Remove from vise.
  • Clamp the Tee in the vise and tighten the other 1/2" nipple on one side of it then flip it over and tighten the needle valve/nipple to it.
  • Rotate the tee in the vise and tighten the bushing and then the 1/4" hose into it. Remove from vise.
  • Clamp the motor in the vise as shown in the photo.
  • Remove the 2 plugs for the ports.
  • Install the Tee/needle valve/ hose assembly in the left port when facing the SAE fitting. See photo.
  • Get it tight, but make sure the hose is facing the adapter so that you can get it to the SAE adapter.
  • Tighten the 1/4" hose to the SAE adapter.
  • Tighten one 36" hose into the needle valve, and the other into the other port.
