1. Begin by selecting the appropriately sized shaft adapter

and insert it into the centering tool. No adapter is needed

for a 6 mm motor shaft.

2. Place the plastic base over the motor shaft.

3. Slide the centering tool and shaft adapter over the motor

shaft. The centering tool will hold the base in the proper

position.

4. While holding the centering tool down in place, install

screws to secure the base to the motor body.

1. Remove the centering tool.

2. Take the shaft adapter out of the centering tool.

1. Rotate the pre-installed alignment tool clockwise and

completely to the right so that the pre-installed shaft set

screw is visible.

2. Insert the shaft adapter into the encoder making sure the

adapter is properly aligned with the keyway in the metal

hub. No adapter is needed for a 6 mm motor shaft.

3. Insert the placement tool into the assembly. This placement

tool holds the encoder’s hub and shaft adapter in the

proper position for installation onto the motor shaft.

4. Position the encoder so it can snap onto the plastic base.

The encoder will only snap into place in one orientation.

5. Slide the encoder onto the motor shaft applying force only

to the placement tool to maintain proper alignment of the

encoder’s hub and shaft adapter.

6. Ensure all 4 locking tabs are secured in place over the

encoder hub.

1. Insert the Allen Wrench into the notch on the top.
