4.Remove bushing, pulley, and key.

5.Assemble bushing and sheave as shown in figure "B". When cap screws are loosely inserted, bushing remains fully expanded to provide a sliding fit on the shaft.

6.Insert key on the shaft, then slide sheave to desired position with cap screw heads to the outside.

7.Tighten cap screws progressively. There should remain a gap between the sheave hub and the flange of the bushing.

IMPORTANT: Tighten screws evenly and progressively. Never allow the sheave to be drawn in contact with the flange of the bushing. This gap should measure from 1/8" to 1/4". Proper cap screw torque is 6 ft-lbs., if greater tightening forces are applied, excess pressures will be created in the hub of the mounted sheave which may cause it to crack.
