TM 5-3895-374-24-2 MOTOR MOUNT INSTALLATION Note:   Refer   to   photo   for   position   of   all   parts   before installation. WARNING To ensure that drive is not unexpectedly    started,    turn    off    and lock  out  or  tag  power  source  before proceeding.  Failure to observe these precautions    could    result    in    bodily injury. 1.   Remove the two or three  bolts  required  for  mounting the   TAM   Motor   Mount   from   the   reducer   housing. Install  the  front  and  rear  supports  (2)  using  the  new reducer   bolts   (1)   supplied   with   the   motor   mount. Make    sure    support    flanges    face    output    side    of reducer.  Tighten bolts securely. 2.   Mount    bottom    plate    (3)    on    supports    with    bolts supplied.    Insert  bolts  (7)  from  top  through   slotted holes.    Add  flatwasher,  lockwasher,  and  nut.    Hand tighten. 3.   Thread two nuts (6) on each threaded stud (5) leaving approximately 1" of stud protruding at one end.  Insert threaded stud with 1" of threads through corner holes of bottom plate, thread a hex nut (6) on the stud and tighten securely. 4.   Slide  top  plate  (4)  over  the  threaded  stud,  making sure center handling hole is positioned opposite input side  of  reducer.    Thread  a  hex  nut  (6)  on  the  studs and tighten securely. 5.   Locate the proper position for the motor and bolt it to the top plate.  Tighten bolts securely. Note: Guards have been removed for photographic purposes. 6.   Install motor sheave and reducer  sheave  as  close  to motor and reducer housings  as  possible.    Accurately align the motor and reducer sheave by sliding bottom plate    in    relation    to    supports.        Tighten    bolts    (7) securely. 7.   Install     V-belts     and     tension     belts     by     alternately adjusting nuts (6) on the threaded studs (jackscrews). Make certain that all bolts are securely tightened, the V-belt  drive  is  properly  aligned  and  the  belt  guard  is installed before operating the drive. DANGER The user is responsible for conforming with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable local codes. Wiring practices, grounding, disconnects and    overcurrent    protection    are    of particular    importance.        Failure    to observe these precautions could result  in  severe  bodily  Injury  or  loss of life. GUIDELINES FOR TORQUE-ARM REDUCER LONG-TERM STORAGE During   periods   of   long   storage,   or   when   waiting   for delivery  or  installation  of  other  equipment,  special  care should  be  taken  to  protect  a  gear   reducer   to   have   it ready   to   be   in   the   best   condition   when   placed   into service. By taking special precautions, problems such as seal   leakage   and   reducer   failure   due   to   the   lack   of lubrication, improper lubrication quantity, or contamination can be avoided. The following precautions  will  protect  gear  reducers  during  periods  of extended storage: Preparation 1.   Drain   the   oil   from   the   unit.      Add   a   vapor   phase corrosion    inhibiting    oil    (VCI-105    oil    by    Daubert Chemical Co.) in accordance with Table 3. 2.   Seal  the  unit  air  tight.    Replace  the  vent  plug  with  a standard pipe plug and wire the vent to the unit. 3.   Cover the shaft extension with a waxy rust preventative  compound  that  will  keep  oxygen  away from  the  bare  metal.    (Non-Rust  X-110  by  Daubert Chemical Co.). 4.   The   instruction   manuals    and    lubrication    tags    are paper  and  must  be  kept  dry.    Either  remove  these documents  and  store  them  inside  or  cover  the  unit with   a   durable   waterproof   cover   which   can   keep moisture away. 5.   Protect  the  reducer  from  dust,  moisture,  and  other contaminants by storing the unit in a dry area. 6.   In damp environments.  the reducer should be packed inside  a  moisture-proof  container  or  an  envelope  of polyethylene  containing  a  desiccant  material.    If  the reducer   is   to   be   stored   outdoors,   cover   the   entire exterior with a rust preventative. When Placing the Reducer into Service 1.   Assemble the vent plug into the proper hole. 2.   Clean the shaft extensions with a suitable solvent. 3.   Fill     the     unit     to     the     proper     oil     level     using     a recommended  lubricant.    The  VCI  oil  will  not  affect the new lubricant. 4.   Follow   the   installation   instructions   provided   in   this manual.
