Drive Coupler - Schulte GLADIATOR RWP-1935 Operator's Manual

DRIVE COUPLER

NOTE: Experience has shown that the majority of breakdowns are the result of inadequate or improper service
and inspection.
The Gladiator RWP-1935 is equipped with a zero maintenance direct-drive Magnaloy Hytrel Coupler system
which is designed to provide years of heavy duty service.
Motor and Coupler Install Instructions:
1. Slide the Steel Bushing Coupler Half (R800-
228) onto the reel shaft ensuring good
engagement with the key in the reel shaft.
2. With the motor (116-216) secured to the
motor mount (R190-136), slide the Motor
Coupler Half (R800-229) onto the motor shaft
inside the housing
engagement with the key in the motor shaft.
3. Rest the Hytrel Coupler Insert (R800-227) in
the Steel Bushing Coupler Half that is
mounted on the Reel.
4. Lift the Motor Assembly and connect the
coupler halves with the Hytrel insert between
them.
5. Using four (4) ¾"x2-1/2" carriage bolts and ¾" flange lock nuts snug the motor mount to the reel side plate,
but do not fully tighten.
6. Push the Reel side coupler half towards the motor until the two halves contact the lip around the outside of
the insert. Do not push the Motor side coupler further than necessary onto the motor shaft.
7. Using Loctite 243, tighten all set screws on both coupler halves to 25.5 ft/lbs (35 Nm).
8. Using the four (4) ¼" bolts and jam nuts installed to the adjustment plates on the reel side plate, align the
outer surfaces of the coupler halves to within 0.015". Measure this using a straight edge across the coupler
halves. Measure in two places 90 degrees from each other as shown (for example: top and front of the
coupler)
9. Rotate the reel to ensure good engagement all around the coupler insert.
NOTE: Coupler misalignment of greater than 1 degree, or 0.015" will reduce the life of the coupler insert and
may cause damage to other components of your rock picker.
