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.

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.
