Clean and de-grease the motor mounting surfaceand shaft, as well as the gearbox mounting surface,input hub bore, and shaft bushing (if included). Thiscleaning is very important for the shaft and bushing,to prevent slip during motion.A. Remove the access hole plug, allowing access to themotor shaft clamp.B. Carefully align the shaft bushing (if included)so that the opening in the bushing aligns withthe opening in the input hub. It is also recom-mended that the motor shaft keyway (if present)aligns with the opening in the input hub clamp.Clamp Bolt Bushing KeywayInput HubC. Rotate the gearbox input hub so that the clampbolt is aligned with the access hole. Loosen theclamp bolt.D. Remove the motor key (if supplied), as it is notrequired for proper installation and operation.E. Slowly slide the motor into the gearbox, so thatthe motor shaft enters the gearbox input hubwith motor shaft keyway (if present) aligned withgearbox input shaft clamp opening.
