- Allen wrench(es).
- This instruction sheet.
ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
- Slide the clamp collar fully onto the pinion gear.
- Gently tighten the two (2) screws on the clamp to remove any loose clearance – keep the distance of the gap at each end approximately equal.
- Slide the pinion gear with the clamp onto the motor shaft.
- Insert the proper thickness feeler gauge (see: Table A, Pinion Gear Positioning, on back) between the pinion gear and motor pilot.
Note: feeler gauge not supplied. - Tighten the two (2) clamp screws evenly and firmly; then remove feeler gauge.
- IMPORTANT: Tighten the two (2) screws on the clamp to the proper torque (see: Table A, Clamp Screw Torques).
- Position the motor/pinion assembly vertically on a bench with the pinion gear upwards.
NOTE: if the gearhead requires sealing to the motor face, apply a thin film of Loctite 515 “Gasket Eliminator” or equivalent to the entire mounting surface of the motor to achieve a positive seal. - Lift and vertically orient the gearhead over the motor. Carefully and slowly lower the gearhead onto the pinion gear. Proper alignment will be necessary.
- When the gearhead makes contact with the pinion gear, rotate the gearhead to allow the teeth to align themselves. The unit will find its alignment – then lower the gearhead fully into position.
- Lay the assembly horizontally on a flat surface and install the motor mounting screws – tighten with Allen wrench.
