TM 5-3895-374-24-2Fig. 1-Assembly.NOTE:A screw conveyor drive consists of three sub-assemblies listed below.1.Reducer-Includes speed reducer, shaft retainer,retainer bolt and lockwasher.2.Adapter Assembly-Includes adapter bolts,lockwashers, a lip type seal, 2 braided type sealsand seal retaining ring.3.Drive Shaft-Includes shaft and keyMake certain none of the parts have been damagedin shipment. Any shipping damage should be promptlyreported to the carrier. Read all instructions in thismanual before attempting to assemble or install theScrew Conveyor Drive. It is important that assembly beperformed in the following sequence and that each stepbe completed before continuing to the next.ASSEMBLY1.Place reducer on blocks so that it lays flat with theinput shaft down.2.Position adapter on reducer output hub so that smallend (end with 12 holes) rests on reducer. Select the4 mounting holes to match the shaft used (see Fig.1).3.Place adapter screws and lockwashers throughadapter and thread into reducer. Do not tighten.4.Select either lip type or braided type seals and installas follows:Lip Type Seals. Place seal in adapter so that springfaces out. Seal should be tapped evenly into placein the adapter with a soft hammer, applying forceonly on the outer corner of the seal. Fill cavitybetween lips of seal with grease. Install seal retainerring by tapping with a hammer. Apply grease toadapter section of shaft (middle section). Slideshaft, keyseated end first, into adapter and throughreducer. Note: Be extremely careful when slidingadapter section of shaft through seal to prevent seallips from being damaged or rolled over.Braided Type Seals. Flatten both seals with a softhammer. Place seals in adapter, one on top of theother with joints offset from each other. Lay retainingring loosely on top of seals. Slide shaft, keyseatedend first, into adapter and through reducer. Takecare to clear the seals with the adapter section of theshaft, Once shaft has bottomed, seat retainer ring bysimultaneously hitting the face of the ring onopposite sides of the shaft with two hammers.5.Carefully place reducer on its side. Rotate shaft toalign keyseats in shaft and output hub and installkey. Install shaft retainer, lockwasher and bolt.Tighten bolt to torque specified in Table 4 on page 8.6.Lay reducer on blocks with input shaft down andtighten adapter bolts to torque specified in Table 4on page 8.7.If waste packing is to be used, it may be installedthrough access hole provided in the adapter. Wastepacking, not furnished with screw conveyor drive,may be used as a separate seal option or incombination with either the lip or braided seals.INSTALLATION1.Determine the running positions of the screwconveyor drive. Running positions are shown in Fig.2. Note that the reducer is supplied with 7 plugs; 5around the sides of the reducer for horizontalinstallations and 1 on each face for verticalinstallations. These plugs must be arranged relativeto the running positions as follows:Horizontal Installations-Install the magnetic drainplug in the hole closest to the bottom of the reducer.Throw away the tape that covers the filler/ventilationplug in shipment and install plug in topmost hole. Ofthe 3 remaining plugs on the sides of the reducer,the lowest one is the minimum oil level plug.Vertical Installations-Install the filler/ventilation plugin the hole provided in the top face of the reducerhousing. Use the hole in the bottom face for themagnetic drain plug. Of the 5 remaining holes onthe sides of the reducer, use a plug in the upperhousing half for the minimum oil level plug.WARNINGTo ensure that drive is notunexpectedly started, turn off andlock out or tag power source beforeproceeding. Failure to observe theseprecautions could result in bodilyinjury.page 3-789
