RIDGID WL1200LS1 manual Assembly

Assembly (continued)

3.Locate the four holes Labeled H on the plate support.

4.Place the motor over these holes with the motor shaft extending through the belt guard plate. Secure in place with carriage bolts, washers, lockwashers and nuts.

5.Plug motor cord into outlet on back of switch box. Do Not plug motor cord into power source outlet.

6.Route the motor cord and power cord along side the headstock as shown. Secure the motor cord and power cord with two cord clamps and an M4 x 0.7-6 pan head screw into the tapped holes Labeled J in the motor mounting plate.

7.Place the motor pulley on the motor shaft so that the small diameter is approximately 1/16" away from the motor. Tighten the setscrew with the 4mm Hex “L” wrench securely against the flat spot on the motor shaft.

8.Place the belt on the pulleys and slide the motor toward the rear of workbench until all the slack is removed from the belt. Tighten only two of the motor mounting bolts at this time.

NOTE: 1/2 inch deflection of belt under moderate pressure applied between the two pulleys is adequate tension.

9.Place a straightedge such as a piece of wood, metal or framing square across the pulleys to see if they are in line with each other. If they are, tighten the other two motor mounting bolts. If they are not in line, loosen the two motor bolts and move the motor sideways until pul- leys are in line. Tighten the bolts.

NOTE: Changing speeds is accom- plished by repositioning the V-Belt on the pulleys (see Changing Speeds” section). There needs to be sufficient slack in the V-belt to allow for this.
