TM 5-3895-374-24-2MOTOR MOUNT INSTALLATIONNote: Refer to photo for position of all parts beforeinstallation.WARNINGTo ensure that drive is notunexpectedly started, turn off andlock out or tag power source beforeproceeding. Failure to observe theseprecautions could result in bodilyinjury.1. Remove the two or three bolts required for mountingthe TAM Motor Mount from the reducer housing.Install the front and rear supports (2) using the newreducer bolts (1) supplied with the motor mount.Make sure support flanges face output side ofreducer. Tighten bolts securely.2. Mount bottom plate (3) on supports with boltssupplied. Insert bolts (7) from top through slottedholes. Add flatwasher, lockwasher, and nut. Handtighten.3. Thread two nuts (6) on each threaded stud (5) leavingapproximately 1" of stud protruding at one end. Insertthreaded stud with 1" of threads through corner holesof bottom plate, thread a hex nut (6) on the stud andtighten securely.4. Slide top plate (4) over the threaded stud, makingsure center handling hole is positioned opposite inputside of reducer. Thread a hex nut (6) on the studsand tighten securely.5. Locate the proper position for the motor and bolt it tothe top plate. Tighten bolts securely.Note: Guards havebeen removed forphotographic purposes.6. Install motor sheave and reducer sheave as close tomotor and reducer housings as possible. Accuratelyalign the motor and reducer sheave by sliding bottomplate in relation to supports. Tighten bolts (7)securely.7. Install V-belts and tension belts by alternatelyadjusting nuts (6) on the threaded studs (jackscrews).Make certain that all bolts are securely tightened, theV-belt drive is properly aligned and the belt guard isinstalled before operating the drive.DANGERThe user is responsible forconforming with the NationalElectrical Code and all otherapplicable local codes. Wiringpractices, grounding, disconnectsand overcurrent protection are ofparticular importance. Failure toobserve these precautions couldresult in severe bodily Injury or lossof life.GUIDELINES FOR TORQUE-ARM REDUCER LONG-TERM STORAGEDuring periods of long storage, or when waiting fordelivery or installation of other equipment, special careshould be taken to protect a gear reducer to have itready to be in the best condition when placed intoservice.By taking special precautions, problems such asseal leakage and reducer failure due to the lack oflubrication, improper lubrication quantity, orcontaminationcan be avoided. The followingprecautions will protect gear reducers during periods ofextended storage:Preparation1. Drain the oil from the unit. Add a vapor phasecorrosion inhibiting oil (VCI-105 oil by DaubertChemical Co.) in accordance with Table 3.2. Seal the unit air tight. Replace the vent plug with astandard pipe plug and wire the vent to the unit.3. Cover the shaft extension with a waxy rustpreventative compound that will keep oxygen awayfrom the bare metal. (Non-Rust X-110 by DaubertChemical Co.).4. The instruction manuals and lubrication tags arepaper and must be kept dry. Either remove thesedocuments and store them inside or cover the unitwith a durable waterproof cover which can keepmoisture away.5. Protect the reducer from dust, moisture, and othercontaminants by storing the unit in a dry area.6. In damp environments. the reducer should be packedinside a moisture-proof container or an envelope ofpolyethylene containing a desiccant material. If thereducer is to be stored outdoors, cover the entireexterior with a rust preventative.When Placing the Reducer into Service1. 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 arecommended lubricant. The VCI oil will not affectthe new lubricant.4. Follow the installation instructions provided in thismanual.Table 3 - Quantities of VCI #105 OilDODGE Part Number 415112-80-DBCase SizeQuarts or LitersTXT3A.1TXT4A.2TXT5B.3VCI #105 & #10 are interchangeable.VCI #105 is more readily available.(page 3 - 1281)
