GRABBER PLATE
ANTI VIBRATION “GRABBER PLATE”
The motor mount plate has two rods that extend
through a machined plate built into the frame. Over
time, the holes and/or rods will become worn, and the
rods will vibrate and rattle in the holes. To address this
issue, J&J has
fi
tted a special plate with rod holes which
can be adjusted in a shear action that captures the rods
and holds them tight and vibration free.
Before installing the engine, loosen the 3/8” center bolt
on the “grabber plate.” Now install the engine and align
the belt; tighten the engine mount bolts. After the belt is
aligned and the engine mount plate bolts are tightened,
simply snug up the two 5/16” “grabber” plate bolts, then
tighten the 3/8” center holding bolt.
TECH TIP:
Remember to loosen the three “grabber
plate” bolts prior to attempting to adjust the belt tension
or remove the engine.
