(1) Insert bushing into hub. Match the hole pattern, not threaded holes (each complete hole will be threaded on one side only).
(2) Lightly oil setscrews and thread into those half-threaded holes with the threads in the hub. Do not lubricate the bushing taper, bushing bore, hub
taper or shaft. Doing so could be harmful to the product.
(3) Position assembly onto shaft allowing for mild axial movement of hub that will occur during tightening procedure.
(4) Alternately torque setscrews to recommended torque setting as shown in Table 4 below. Be careful to avoid using worn hex key wrenches as they
tend to result in a loose assembly or may damage the setscrews.
