Place mounting plate over (2) studs where 5/16 nuts were removed 7.
Replace (2) 5/16 nuts, and tighten 8.
Position shaft key 9.
Rotate drive pulley by hand to bring key to 12 o’clock position 10.
Rotate input quill on reducer to bring keyway in coupling half to
12 o’clock position 11.
Align keyway in coupling with key in pulley shaft and slide drive
package onto shaft, bringing it against mounting plate 12.
Insert (2) screws into casting and tighten 13.
Insert wrench through hole in casting and tighten set screw in

Conveyor Technologies procedure for assembling a heavy duty side drive. 1.
Unpack complete drive assembly 2.
Remove coupling spider attached to drive casting, and insert into coupling
half on pulley shaft 3.
Insert drive assembly over pulley shaft while aligning coupling, and
rotate into position against bearing
