Tighten the Compression Coupling

Follow these steps to secure the motor on the machine shaft.

1. Remove the black cap screw from the hole A using a Phillips #4 screwdriver.

Refer to the motor outline on

page 19

for the location of the compression

coupling fitting and alignment pin.

2. Use a 6 mm hex bit to tighten the compression coupling in hole A to

29.8 N•m (22 lb•ft)

.

Secure the Shipping Hardware

Follow these steps to secure loose hardware used during motor installation and to
prepare the motor for use.

1. Remove the silver shipping alignment pin from hole B, and insert it in

hole A.

2. Insert the black cap screw in hole B.

3. Tighten the alignment pin and the cap screw to the value specified in this

table.

4. Rotate the machine shaft or load by hand to verify free rotation of the motor.

ATTENTION

Improper torque values may cause the machine shaft to slip in the compression coupling.
This may generate sufficient friction and heat to permanently weld the motor hub to the
machine shaft.

Failure to observe this safety precaution could result in damage to the motor and the
machine.
