5.2.3 Removing the rotor shipping brace
If a rotor shipping brace is attached to the machine, remove it at the last possible moment,
for example, when you are ready to push on the output or drive element.
Note
Machines with an oil-injection interference fit and a center hole ≥ M56
An adapter is installed between the shaft and the rotor shipping brace on machines with an oil-
injection interference fit and a center hole ≥ M56. Remove this adapter together with the rotor
shipping brace.
