ATTACHING THE DRIVE MOTOR
1. Attach the Wheel Drive Brackets,
with Spacers, to the two vacant
wheel studs as shown in Figure 6.
Leave the wheel nuts slightly
loose.
2. Slide the sleeve on the connecting
shaft of the Drive Motor away
from the universal coupling so
the shaft is free to articulate.
3. Position the Drive Motor Stand
and connect the Wheel Drive
Brackets to the end of the Drive
Motor Shaft.
4. Tighten the wheel nuts so the
Wheel Drive Brackets are on the
centerline of the wheel hub.
5. Carefully adjust the Drive Motor
Stand so the shaft aligns with the
axis of rotation of the wheel.
Refer to Figure 7 for proper setup
and alignment.
6. Set the locks on the Drive Motor
Stand casters. Check that
adjusting handles on the stand are
tight.
7. Slide the vinyl cover over the
Wheel Drive Brackets.
This cover must remain in
place during operation of the
Wheel Drive Motor.
8. Connect the coiled Power Cable
between the Wheel Drive Motor
and the Lathe.
