Drive Feet Mounting Procedure
1.
Push slotted shims under the couplings lowest
mounting feet and moderately tighten the Bolts
2.
Align the unit. Insert feeler gauges under the
remaining feet during the alignment process to
level the unit.
3.
Replace feeler gauges with equal thickness of
slotted shims. Use a few thick shims rather than
many thin shims.
4.
Alternately tighten bolts.
5.
Re-check alignment and change shims as
required.
6.
Push slotted shims under AC Motor mounting

Note
: The decision to mount (bolt) the motor feet should
be based on the application dynamics. (i.e.
vibration/support). It is not always necessary to mount the
motor feet and is specifically motor size related.
Note
: When Drives are purchased with a base, the base
must also be leveled and secured.
Warning
: Failure to properly mount and level drive unit
my result in distortion to the drive housing, torque tube,
mechanical failure, misalignment, and premature bearing
wear.
