1. Rough Alignment

• Vertical: Place scale or straightedge on highest 
hub and raise or lower the movable shaft to 
within 20 mils (0.020”) of the stationary hub.
• Horizontal: Place scale or straightedge on hub 
nearest to you and adjust the movable shaft to 
within 20 mils (0.020”) of the stationary hub.

2. Correct Obvious Soft Foot

Loosen all the bolts and find any obviously loose 
shim packs. Add shims as needed to make a snug 
fit. 

3. Follow Tightening Sequence

Follow the same sequence throughout the align-
ment process, and tighten in 3 passes: snug first, 
50% on second pass, completely tight on the 
third pass. (View sequence on next page)
