Instructions

  • Pre-load the 5mm setscrew into the Light Weight Shaft Hub. Be careful not to tighten the setscrew all the way

  • Pre-Load the 4mm setscrews into the 30 Tooth Bevel Gear. Be careful not to tighten the setscrews all the way

  • Pre-load the M3 x 8mm SHCS into the Collar Clamp. Be careful not to righten the screw

  • Slide the Collar Clamp onto the 6mm D-shaft and offset it about 2mm away from the edge of the shaft. Using a 2mm spacer is an excellent way to get the spacing

  • Clamp the Collar clamp down to the D-shaft.

  • Slide a single 2mm spacer onto the D-shaft and slide it down to the collar clamp.

  • Slide a 14mm bearing down the D-shaft until it makes contact with the spacer. The flange should be touching the spacer.

  • Slide the D-shaft through the End Piece Plate from inside the frame.

  • Before sliding the shaft through, slide the 30 Tooth Bevel Gear onto the shaft with the setscrew side facing the inside of the frame. Do not tighten the setscrews

  • Fully slide the D-Shaft through.

  • Slide a 14mm bearing onto the D-shaft with the flange facing the outside.

  • Slide 3 x 2mm spacers onto the D-shaft.

  • Slide the Light Weight shaft hub onto the D-shaft and tighten the setscrew.

  • The shaft should be able to spin freely. If there are any issues, loosen the Light Weight Shaft hub or the collar clamp and adjust.

  • Repeat these steps for the other side.
