1.Remove sprocket and drive pin.
2.Pull out trunnion bearing.
Grease trunnion bearing inside and out with wheel bearing grease prior to reinstalling.
MOTOR TRUNNION1.Remove motor, gearbox, spocket, and screw guard.
2.Use 13/16" wrench to remove bolts securing links to motor trunnion.
When reinstalling, bolts should be torqued to 45 foot pounds.
SPROCKET1.Line up one of the 3/8" holes in the sprocket with the 3/8" hole in bottom center of gearbox. Insert 3/8" steel pin or bolt through sprocket hole into front and rear gearbox holes.*
2.Loosen and remove 15/16" nut on the drive screw. When reinstalling torque to 65 foot pounds and apply Locktite® to threads.
1.Lower ram manually until there is approximately 11" to 12" between the ram and the bottom assembly.
2.Remove the four 3/8" nuts securing motor to gearbox, slide motor out and rest it on the front trunnion assembly.
3.Turn sprocket until two holes in sprocket line up with the two socket head cap screws that hold the gearbox to the motor trunnion.
4.Remove the two socket head cap screws with a 5/32" hex key. NOTE: The screws thread into 2 nuts which rest in slots in the motor trunnion. Be careful not to lose the 2 nuts when the screws are removed.
5.Tilt gearbox forward and remove chain. Lift gearbox out.
When installing gearbox, Locktite® should be applied to the socket head cap screw nuts.
*If the sprocket is too damaged to be able to use on of the holes to secure it, chip away the remaining sprocket, remove the drive pin and then insert a screwdriver through the hole to provide a means of keeping the drive screw from turning.
