e . Grease the lip of the oil seal and press the drive shaft (38) into the ball bearing until the shoulder of the shaft
registers against the inner race of the bearing.
f . Use Waldes Truarc No. 4 pliers to install the retaining ring (22) in the shaft groove.
g . Turn the housing motor end down, and press the drive shaft until the chuck head contacts the small end
of the housing. For models equipped with coupling, press the shaft to move coupling 1/4 of an inch closer
to the end of the housing.
8.3 Assembling the Chuck:
a . Assemble chuck washer (18), chuck grip (34) and snap ring (21) on the chuck screw (8).
b . Thread the chuck screw into the chuck end of the drive shaft, far enough to insert the limit pin (11), so that
the end of the pin is 3/16 of an inch underflush.
8.4 Assembling the Motor to the Housing:
a . If the drive shaft has not been removed from the housing, turn the housing motor end down, and press the
drive shaft until the chuck head contacts the small end of the housing. For models equipped with couplings,
press the shaft to move coupling 1/4 of an inch closer to the end of the housing.
b . Install the motor key (46).
1 . Models XDQ 174 thru 350 – Install the key in the drive shaft keyway.
2 . Models XDQ 30 thru 117 – If the key has been removed, clean the key and the motor shaft keyway.
Apply Loctite Sealant, Grade E (American Sealants Co.) to both items before reassembling.
c . Apply a light film of lubricant to both shafts. Align the mating keyways and insert one shaft into the other,
without forcing, until the shafts are securely butted. There will be a small gap between the motor face and
the housing face.
d . Align the motor (41) and the housing (36) so that the switch, conduit box or junction box of the motor is
opposite the large opening in the front of the housing.
e . Align the screw holes and install the housing cap screws and washers (1, 2 & 20).
f . Draw up the screws evenly until the housing face is just snug with the motor face, but do not completely
tighten the screws.
g . Insert the hex key wrench in the chuck screw (8) to keep the drive shaft (38) from turning, then thread in
and tighten the shaft screw (4).
h . For models equipped with couplings, bolts can be inserted in the coupling half, and a bar interlocked
between the bolts to prevent the drive shaft from rotating.
i . Tighten the four housing cap screws evenly.
j . Reassemble the mixer shaft to the unit as described in Section 4.
SECTION 9 – LUBRICATION
9.1 Your LIGHTNIN mixer has been lubricated at the factory with the correct type and amount of high quality
lubricants. Lubricant cleanliness is protected by properly designed enclosures.
9.2 All mixer bearings are sealed type with contact rubbing seals and are pre–packed with lubricant. Relubrication
of these bearings is not necessary.
