coupling halves must be set in a different manner. If specific directions are not indicated in
the motor instructions, then follow this procedure:
NOTICE:
If the driver was mounted at the factory, the setting for the coupling is already determined.
a) Slide the rotor towards the outboard end of the motor as far as it will go and mark the
shaft at the motor frame.
b) Slide the rotor towards the inboard end of the motor as far as it will go and mark the
shaft again.
The distance between the marks should be either 1/2 or 1/4 in. (6.35 or 12.7 mm) if the
motor is arranged for limited end-float travel.
c) Scribe a third mark on the shaft halfway between the scribe marks made in the previous
steps.
d) Clamp the rotor in place.
