GEAR RATIO CONVERSION KITS (SEE

INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH CON-

VERSION KIT)

1.Remove the 2 hex head screws and the 2 slot head screws holding the Motor to the Wire Drive Gearbox assembly.

2.Remove existing Adapter Plate and Motor Assembly.

3.Take the two long screws removed in step 1 and screw one into each of the tapped holes located on the face of fiber input helical gear. Insert the screws through the full thickness of the gear, and using a screwdriver wedged between the screws to prevent rotation, remove the hex nut that holds the gear to the shaft. Remove plain washer.

4.Pull the gear from the shaft using the screws as a pulling device.

5.Be certain woodruff key is properly located on the shaft. Screw the adapter plate and motor assembly mounting screws into the new fiber input helical gear from the stenciled side and place the gear on the shaft. Replace plain washer, tighten the hex nut, and remove the adapter plate and motor assembly mounting screws from the gear.

6.Support the pinion properly and, with the proper size punch, drive the roll pin that holds the pinion out of the shaft. Pull the pinion off. Remove the Ring Magnet from the pinion gear and snap it onto the new pinion gear. Before installing the new pin- ion gear with the Ring Magnet onto the motor shaft, ensure that the flat washer is located at the bottom of the shaft. Install the new pinion and replace the roll pin.

7.Cover the teeth of the motor pinion and the input gear with a non-fluid molydisulfide type grease such as Non-Fluid Oil Corporation’s A-29 Special/MS Lubricant. This grease can be scooped from the cavity of the gear case.

8.Reassemble the motor on the gearbox; make sure the gears mesh properly and the adapter plate locating bead is in its cavity. Replace and tighten the four screws removed in step 1.

9.See the power source manual on how to config- ure the power source DIP switches for the new gear ratio.
