Replacing the loading platform motor

Important: Unless otherwise stated, coat all screws in Loctite^® 242.

In some circumstances, you may have to assemble the loading platform motor before it is inserted into the platesetter.

1. Make sure the black plastic couplings on both the conveyor shaft and the motor are aligned and pointing in the same vertical direction.
2. Insert the motor into the platesetter. Make sure that the black plastic coupling on the motor fits inside the groove of the plastic coupling on the conveyor shaft:
   
   
   
   
3. Use a 4-mm hex key to insert the two screws that secure the motor to the platesetter. (One of the screws also attaches the grounding cable to the motor.)
4. Connect the connector leading from the motor to the conveyor shaft.

Assembling the loading platform motor

1. Use a 2-mm hex key to insert the coupling set screw into the coupling.
2. Connect the grounding cable to the motor.
3. Slide the black plastic coupling onto the motor coupling.
