MAINTENANCE
FLAIL AXE HEAD
BELT TENSION
When installing new belts, tighten belts to obtain a 16 lb. Belt Deflector Force at 7/16" deflection. After a few
hours of operation to allow the belts to seat into the sheave grooves recheck and adjust as needed to obtain an
8 to 12 lb. Belt Deflection Force at 7/16" deflection. Inspect belts and recheck belt tension periodically to
maintain an 8 to 12 lb. Belt Deflection Force at 7/16" deflection.
MOTOR & COUPLING INSTALLATION
Bolt motor to mount plate. Fully tighten bolt (Item 1).
Install flex coupler to the quick disconnect pulley
hub using the countersunk socket head bolts (Item
2). Apply thread locking compound to the bolts.
Tighten bolts to 45 FT-LB. Attach motor mount
angle brackets, (Item 3) to the channel frame, leave
bolts loose.
Insert motor shaft into flex coupling and allow motor
to "find its center."
Adjust motor up as needed to provide ample
clearance between the top of flex coupling and the
motor. Bring angle brackets up to motor mount plate
and tighten the bolts.
