    Bearing Assembly (Right-Hand Side)

    A - Cap Screw, M8 (2 used)

    B - Cap Screw, M10

    C - Bearing

    D - Washer

    E - Thin Washer (2 used, as required)

    F - Bearing Housing

    G - Mounting Bracket

    H - Distance

    Check the position of the bearing assembly on the right-hand end of the drive roll.

    1. Hold the bearing (C) tight against the washers.

    2. Check the distance (H) between the outer edge of the step in the bearing housing (F) and the edge of the mounting bracket (G) in all three locations. Verify that the dimension is within specification.

      Distance (H)Distance1.5—4.5 mm (0.059—0.177 in)



  10. If the distance (H) is not within specification:

    1. Disassemble and remove the bearing assembly. Make note of the location of all washers.

    2. Add or remove washers (E) behind the bearing, as necessary, to obtain the correct distance in all three locations.

    3. Reinstall the bearing in the reverse order of removal. Make sure that washer (D) is installed next to the bearing.

    4. Recheck the mounting distance.

  11. Install previously removed cap screws (A and B). Tighten the cap screws only enough to get a light load between the bearing housing flanges and the mounting bracket. If necessary, lightly tap on the bearing housing to rotate the housing slightly and align the flanges at all three mounting locations. Do not fully tighten the cap screws at this time.

    A - Cap Screw, M8 (2 used)

    B - Cap Screw, M10

    C - Shim (as needed)

    Check to see if the roll is centered in the hole in the side sheet.



  13. If the roll is not centered:

    1. Loosen cap screws (A and B).

    2. Insert shims (C) between the bearing mounting bracket and the bearing housing flanges as necessary.

    3. Snug up the cap screws but do not fully tighten at this time.

  14. Rolls must rotate freely. Check roll clearance through the hole in the side sheet.

    If the roll is equipped with wiper pins, it is permissible to grind the wiper pins to 3 mm (0.12 in) minimum height.

    Spin the drive roll to verify clearance with the side sheet hole according to specifications. Add or remove shims (C) or move right-hand bearing plate, or grind the drive roll wiper pins (if equipped).

    Roller ClearanceRadial Clearance1 mm (0.04 in)

  15. To keep the center cap screw from loosening and prevent hex knock, keep washers or spacer (A) centered on shaft.

    A - Washers (Regular Pickup)

    A - Spacer (MegaWide™ Plus Pickup)

    B - Cap Screw, M12 x 80

    C - Washer

    Install washers, hollow sleeve, washers, and the slip clutch or sheave in the same position and quantity as removed. Then install washers or spacer (A) between the clutch or sheave and washer (C) as specified here:

    MegaWide™ Plus pickup: Install spacer (A) against the face of the clutch. The outside face of the spacer (A) must extend approximately 7 mm (0.28 in) beyond the end of the hex shaft. If it does not extend far enough, add thin washers between the spacer and the clutch to obtain the required dimension.



  16. Be sure that there is no clearance between components.

    Install cap screw (B) and washer (C) and tighten securely to clamp components on shaft.

    B - Washer, 6 mm (0.25 in)

    C - Cap Screw, M12 x 80

    D - End Washer

    E - Sheave, Hub

    Regular pickup: Install 1.5 mm (0.060 in) washers (A) against the outside of sheave (E) until flush with end of shaft, then add one 6 mm (0.25 in) washer (B).



  18. To keep the center cap screw from loosening and prevent hex knock, keep washers (A and B) centered on shaft.

    Install cap screw (C) and end washer (D).

    Check dimension (B) between face of the bearing plate and the center of the sheave groove (Regular pickup).

    Dimension (B)Distance190 mm (7.48 in)



  20. If the sheave or sprocket spacing cannot be obtained within ± 1.5 mm (0.060 in), add or remove washers inside the slip clutch or sheave to obtain the dimension.

  21. If washers are added or removed inside the slip clutch or sheave, repeat the previous steps to clamp components securely in place on the shaft.

  22. To prevent bearing failure, always tighten cap screw (C) before tightening flange mounting cap screws (A and B).

    Ensure that washers do not rotate by hand. Joint must be clamped to eliminate hex knock.
