SOLBERG
8.1 MN - (1) Electric motor
- (4) 1/2”-13 x 1-1/2” carriage bolts
- (4) ½”-13 “whiz” flange nuts
8.2 TN - ¾” combination wrench
- Lifting hoist
8.3 Slide (4) carriage bolts, threaded portion up, into the channels.
Using a hoist and the lifting lug, raise the motor over the BBF. As
the motor is slowly lowered keep these actions in mind:
8.3.1 The channels must be slid in the slots to match the footprint
of the motor.
8.3.2 The carriage bolts must be fed through the holes in the
motor mounting plate. Loosely thread on the flange nuts; the
motor will need to slide on the channels during alignment.
8.4
The mounting plate of some smaller motors may not accommodate the provided 1/2" carriage bolt. In some
cases the plate has 3/8” holes. We suggest two possible solutions.
8.4.1 Drill out 1/2" holes into you mounting plate to handle the
provided 1/2" carriage bolt and “whiz” nut.
8.4.2 Use a 3/8” carriage bolt with a flat washer, lock washer and nut.
(Optional accessories as part of kit, contact factory)
9.1 TN - ¾” combination wrench
- Straight Edge
9.2 Square the motor channels to each other and the BBF.
Temporarily tighten the nuts to frame. Using the straightedge align
the blower shaft bearing with the motor shaft bearing; the face of
the blower with the face of the motor. When the blower and motor
bearings are aligned, securely tighten the motor to the channels.
10.1 DL Series Purpose Built Belt Guard

10.3 Determine the centerline of your drive shaft and the height of each

size and belt length. Transfer the measurements to the belt guard
to remove grid to accommodate shafts.
