Snout Cone Assembly
1.
Locate a bearing assembly (items 12 and 12.1) and a snout cone (item 3 or 4). Slide the locking collar onto the top shaft
of the Snout Cone. Be sure the locking side is towards the outside of the shaft.
2.
Slide on one side of the bearing flange (Item 12.1) onto the upper shaft of the Snout Cone. Install the bearing (Item 12)
with the locking collar towards the installed locking collar.
3.
Slide on the other side of the bearing flange (Item 12.1).
4.
Install the bearing mount carrier (Item 7) and use two 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts to
attach the bearing to the bearing mount carrier. Leave the fasteners loose for now.
5.
Locate the key stock and insert it into the keyway on the shaft and then install the shaft coupler (Item 5).
6.
Insert a second key stock into the hydraulic motor shaft keyway and insert the motor shaft into the other side of the shaft
coupler.
7.
Set the distance on the snout cone shaft to the shaft coupler. This is done by having the shaft coupler completely cover the
key stock and the securing set screw should set approximately in the middle of the key stock. Tighten this set screw.
8.
Attach the bearing mount carrier (Item 7) to the hydraulic motor (Item 6) using the 3/8" x 3/4" bolts and lock washers.
The bearing assembly should slide with the bearing mount carrier.
9. Set the distance with the motor and the shaft coupler. Be sure the shaft coupler is not going to hit the hydraulic motor as it
turns. The securing set screw should be approximately half way of the length of the key stock. Tighten the securing set
screw.
10. Tighten the two 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts that are holding the bearing onto the bearing mount carrier.
11. Tighten the locking collar onto the bearing and then tighten the securing set screw.
12. The assembly should appear like the assembly in the picture below.
