4.4 Coupling
4.4.1 Direct coupling
Slide the half couplings onto the shaft of the blower and of the motor using suitable tools.
Warning: Do not use a hammer to slide on the half couplings.
Secure the half couplings with security dowels which will push on the keys.
Place the blower at the distance S from the motor as indicated in the table below.
Align the shafts of the blower and of the motor by shims under the feet of the motor and/or blower.
Check the alignment by using comparators or gauges with scales as shown in Fig. 6
