Remove

  1. Remove lower shroud from motor (refer to procedure).
  2. Fit motor lifting clamp 1001030 (Motor Lifting Clamp) to motor.
  3. Attach a lifting hoist to the motor lifting clamp and raise hoist to remove any slack from the chains.
  4. Working in the sequence shown, remove bolts, washers and insulator bushings (x8) securing motor to transmission.
  5. Slowly raise the lifting hoist to release motor from drive coupler and separate from transmission.
  6. Position motor aside.

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
CAUTION
Clean and inspect the insulator ring and bushings for signs of damage. Replace any component that shows signs of damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged insulator ring or bushings be used.
  1. Clean splines on motor output shaft and apply recommended grease.
  2. Lower motor onto transmission and engage output shaft with drive coupler.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    The output shaft should locate smoothly with the drive coupler. If resistance is felt, it may be necessary to rotate the motor shaft using the motor encoder wheel to align the splines. Never force the output shaft into the drive coupler.
  3. Ensure motor is correctly located on insulator ring before installing the insulator bushes, bolts and washers.
