Torque Plate and Electric Motor Replacement

The wiring to each motor will have to be removed in order to gain access to the bottom of the gearbox.
There you can inspect and change the flat head bolts used to mount the torque plate.

Remove Motor Gearbox assembly

1) Turn off the power and place the disconnects in the OFF position. To ensure safety we
recommend following the Lock out procedure stated above for the main panel prior to
servicing the equipment.
If the assembly does not have a cover, proceed to step 3

2) Remove plastic cover from the cover base by removing the (2) Phillips head screws mounted
in to the cover base. This will allow access to the motor gearbox that is mounted on the torque
studs.

3) To ensure all power has been properly removed from the circuit, check voltage at the junction
box with a multi-meter to confirm no power is being supplied to the equipment.
4) Remove the junction box cover to gain access to the wiring on the side of the motor.
5) Confirm that the wiring has been be tagged for terminal location if not previously identified
upon installation. Remove the nuts to release wiring from the terminal block.

Wires are located behind the terminal strip and will need to be pulled back out through the plastic fitting
at the bottom of the junction box.

This fitting will need to be loosened, or removed so that the wiring can be pulled down through the
cover base if equipped. Also, the terminal block may need to be removed from the side of the motor for
additional access using a Phillips screwdriver.
