3. Press the 2mm fan rotor adapter onto the motor. Using

threadlocking compound, tighten the set screws against the
motor shaft. Allow a small amount of clearance (1/8" [3mm])
between the base of the adapter and the motor to prevent
binding. A 3/32" [2.4mm] hole can be drilled into the side of
the fan housing 9/16" [14.3mm] from the front edge to insert
an allen wrench for the fan adapter set screws.

4A. Fit the fan rotor over the brass fan adapter and push

it down so it is fully seated. If you will not be installing the
optional rotor cone, thread a 3 x 8mm Phillips screw with
a 3mm washer through the fan adapter. Be sure to use
threadlocking compound.

4B. If you are installing the optional rotor cone, press it

onto the fan rotor as shown. Insert a 3 x 8mm Phillips screw
and 3mm washer (with threadlocking compound) into the
hole in the rotor cone and tighten the screw into the brass
fan adapter.

5. Cut a portion of the aft cone away for motor cooling and

to allow the motor leads to pass through. For most motor
applications, the aft cone should be approximately 1-1/4"
[32mm] long after cutting it.
