2.

Remove the old V-belt.

Remove and discard the 4 pillow-block screws holding the crankshaft.

Install the New Crankshaft

1.

The mounting surfaces must be flat before installing the new

assembly.

2.

Set the new crankshaft assembly onto the pillow-block mounting pads.

Facing the back of the machine, look at the V-groove balance-plate pulley. It

should be on your left. Adjust, if necessary.

3.

Install the new crankshaft assembly with new washers, nuts and 7/16-14” hex

screws. Drop these into position, but do not tighten at this time.

4. Align the pillow blocks over the crankshaft mount.

It may be necessary

to remove the motor in order to align, then tighten, the screws on the

crankshaft. If so, follow these steps:

• Lift the front of the machine with the 2” x 4’ wooden board and place the

blocks under the board.

• Remove the 4 hold-down screws on the motor.

• Move the motor out of the way.

5.

Align the crankshaft assembly assuring that it is parallel to the rear surface

of the inner frame. Measure the distance between the inner frame weights

and the rear edge of the crankshaft. The measurement on each side of the

crankshaft should be the same.

6.

First tighten the front nuts and screws; then tighten the others.

7.

Remove the old motor pulley with a hex wrench and a wheel puller.

8.

Install the new pulley using the old square key. Do not tighten the pulley set

screw at this time.

9.

Reinstall the motor, if it was moved.
