Spacing the Machine from the Coupling
To set up the machine correctly it must be spaced off of the coupling using the correct shims.
Use the table and graphic below to select the correct shim.
Do the following to select the correct shim.
1. Find the coupling outer diameter in the left-hand column of the table.
2. Moving right, match the coupling diameter with the bolt circle diameter that most closely
matches the bolt circle.
3. The shim will equal the number at the top of the table. The shim you choose will allow up to
1/4 inch of play, which can be compensated for by other machine adjustments.
