5.6 Hollow Shaft Driver Installation
1. Clean the driver mounting flange on the discharge head and remove any burrs or nicks on the register
and mounting face. Oil lightly.
2. Remove the driver clutch.
3. Clean the driver mounting flange and remove any burrs or nicks on the register and mounting flange. Oil

4. Some electric motors are supplied with a lower guide bushing installed at the bottom of the motor to
stabilize the shaft at this point (also called a steady bushing). Some motor manufacturers mount this
guide bushing before shipping while others will ship the guide bushing separately with instructions for
field mounting. If applicable, mount the guide bushing to the motor (refer Figure 5-3 on page 25).
