Bushing
If the sheaves are made with a QD® hub,
follow these installation and
removal instructions:
3. How to install a sheave with a QD® hub
Insert the bushing in the hub and line up bolt holes.
Insert the pull-up bolts and turn until finger tight.
Hold the loosely-assembled unit so the bushing flange points
toward the shaft bearings. Reverse mounting the QD® bushing
can be advantageous for some applications.
Slip the unit onto the shaft and align the hub in the
desired position.
Tighten the setscrew in the flange only enough to hold the
assembly in position.
Tighten each pull-up bolt alternately and evenly.
Recheck alignment and completely tighten the setscrew on
the shaft.

Installation Guide
1. Inspect sheaves
The following sections outline installation procedures that
will ensure maximum life and performance for your
Torque Team® V-belts.
Check sheaves for cleanliness, damage and wear whether you
are replacing an existing belt, performing routine maintenance
or installing a new drive.
Use a stiff brush to remove rust and dirt. Use a soft cloth to
wipe off oil and grease. Select the proper sheave groove gauge
and template for the sheave diameter. Insert the gauge in the
groove and look for voids that indicate dishing or other uneven
and abnormal wear.
2. Install hardware
Always remember to select the correct sheave. Then, after
you make the correct selection, be sure to install the
sheaves correctly.
Before performing any installation, follow correct lockout
procedures to prevent any accidents.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect power supply to machine
before
doing ANY work
.
WARNING
Disconnect power supply to the machine before removing
or installing sheaves or belts.
WARNING
Do not reinstall damaged or worn sheaves on equipment.
