1. Turn off and lock out power source.
2. Loosen set screws on bearings.
3. Slide bearing away from sprocket to make room
to guide end plates around channels.
4. Replace standard grease zerks with 90° grease
zerks on both bearings. Make sure the 90° grease
zerk is turned as shown in Figure 2, so the zerks
are accessible.
5. Turn the bearings so the base is facing up before
attaching the bearing mount end plates as shown
in Figure 3.
6. Guide bearing mount end plates onto shaft and
hook under the channels, lining up the bolt holes
with the holes where the bearings were previously
attached. (See Figure 1.) Fasten bearing mount
end plates to channels using (4) 5/8" x 2-1/2" Zinc
GR8 bolts, beveled washers, lock washers, and
hex nuts as shown in Figure 4 & 5.
Make sure bearing mount end
plates are fully tightened so
bearings slide under plates
without hitting the channels.
7. Attach the bearing mount top plate to the bearing
mount end plates using (4) 3/8" x 1-1/4" GR5 bolts
with split lock washers and hex nuts. Bolt heads
should be against the end plates as shown in
Figure 4 & 5.
8. Slide bearings into position under bearing mount
end plate, the holes should line up.
9. Fasten the bearings to the end plates and top plate
using (4) 5/8" x 3" GR8 bolt with lock washers and
hex nuts. The bolt heads should rest against the
bearings. Tighten set screws on bearings. (See
Figure 4 & 5.)
