Attach Motor Mount Plates

  • Torch pattern identical to interface plate, but on a different size plate.
  • Work with ½”x8”x10” plate
  • Grind and ream torched ares

Join Motor Interface plate with Motor Mount Plate

  • Lubricate motor shaft and attach motor coupler
  • Bolt the interface plate to motor mount plate, using a washer and metal lock washer
  • Fit wheel shaft into bearing mount plates, butt up against coupler so no space is exposed on the 1-3/8” spline shaft
  • Clamp motor mount plate to frame veritcal
  • Adjust location of motor mount plate accordingly
