INSTALLING THE MOTOR After wiring the motor, check that the motor shaft rotates clockwise when viewed from the end of the shaft. Assemble the motor to the gear reducer. Motor Input Sleeve To attach the motor, take the input sleeve and tap roll pin into ¼ hole. Fit it to the motor shaft. Place the end without the guide chamfer towards the motor. Insert the input sleeve with the key provided with the motor on the motor shaft until the roll pin touches the end of the shaft. Tighten the set screw to hold in place. Align the keyways of the reducer shaft and the input sleeve. Push the input sleeve onto the reducer input shaft with key in place. If necessary, use a flat file to lightly clean the edges of the keyway to aid in assembly. When the motor face is flush with the edge of the reducer, turn the motor to line the 3/8 holes in the motor face with the clearance holes in the reducer gear flange. Use 3/8 x 1 Hex Bolts and Lock washers to fasten. 1/4/2018 420239 - Packing List/Instructions 3
