STRAIGHT BORE BUSHING KIT
Loosen the six set screws in the hollow bore shaft and insert
the keyed bushing and supplied key into the side of the hollow
bore shaft that will be closest to the driven equipment. Line up
the clearance hole in the bushing with the set screw. Insert the
straight bore bushing into the hollow bore shaft on the opposite
side of the reducer and line up the two clearance holes in the
bushing with the set screws. Apply anti-seize compound to the
driven shaft and slide the reducer onto the driven shaft. Hand
tighten one of the set screws and then hand tighten a set screw
in the same position on the opposite side of the reducer. This
will take up the clearance between the shaft and reducer to the
same side and reduce wobble. Continue the alternating hand
tightening until all the set screws have been tightened. After all
the set screws have been hand tightened, use a torque wrench to
tighten the set screws to the values in the chart below. The 10-32
set screw over the key should be tightened to 3 ft-lb.
