DRIVE MOTOR CONVERSION KIT (PART NO. 43866)
Read through these INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS once briefly to familiarize yourself with the various
parts that are required to install your motor kit. Follow the instructions and the installation will be a relatively
simple operation. If you need additional information, please call Townsend Industries at 1-800-247-2262,1515-967-4261, or FAX 1-515-967-7519.
WARNING: Unplug the parent press.
1. Locate the parent press serial number plate (QG) and affix the adhesive replacement electrical current
plate (QH) designating AMPS 14/13 over the original AMPS 12/11 rating. The serial number plate is usually
on the cabinet door.
2. Place the adhesive replacement electrical rating plate (QI) designating F4 10A 250V Slo-Blo over the
original F4 7A 250V Slo-Blo rating on the control box cover. Remove the original 7A fuse and install the
provided 10A fuse (QJ). Keep the extra 10A fuse inside the control box.

WARNING: BE SURE ALL GUARDS, COVERS, AND SAFETY DEVICES ARE INSTALLED
AND PROPERLY ADJUSTED BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT. IF THE T-51 IS REMOVED
FROM THE PARENT PRESS, THE ORIGINAL GUARDING MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE
OPERATING THE PRESS. WHEN THE T-51 IS SWUNG OFF TO THE SIDE, THE REPLACEMENT SAFETY GUARD MUST BE USED BEFORE OPERATING THE PRESS.

3. Take off the non-operator side cabinet cover and unplug the fan.
4. Remove the four bolts that secures the motor to the mounting plate and slip the drive belt off of the motor
drive pulley. Lift the motor off of the plate and set it onto the floor.
5. Remove the power cord from the motor by unplugging it from the two wires inside the motor wiring
compartment and removing the ground wire screw. Take the drive pulley (WA) off of the motor. Slide the
pulley onto the replacement motor assembly intermediate shaft so that it is even with the end of the shaft.
Tighten the locking set screw that is oriented toward the inside of the pulley. Set the original motor aside.
6. If the motor vibration isolators are not the current design (WC) and (WD), update the parent press with the
necessary conversion kit (part number 43936) before proceeding. The kit can be ordered by calling Townsend
Industries at 1-800-247-2262, 1-515-967-4261, or FAX 1-515-967-7519.
7. Remove the motor mounting plate by taking off the nuts on the threaded rods (WB) and bolts (WC1)
protruding through the vibration isolators. Remove the bracket and vibration isolator assembly (WD) from
the plate.
8. Take off the plate (WN). Insert the power cord through the strain relief clamp (WH). Plug the brown cord
wire (WI) onto the black motor wire (WK) and the blue cord wire (WJ) onto the red motor wire (WL). Secure
the green / yellow ground wire (WM) to the motor using the ground screw. Tighten the screws on the strain
relief clamp (WH) to secure the power cord. Replace the plate (WN).
9. Position 3 or 4 pieces of the styrofoam packing material directly under the motor mounting area as an aid
to installing the replacement motor assembly (WE). Set the replacement motor assembly onto the bolts
(WC1) and finger tighten the parent press star washers and nuts. Slip the parent press drive belt (WF) onto
the drive pulley. The belt will help support the motor as the nuts are completely tightened.
10. Mount the bracket and vibration isolator assembly (WD) using the parent press star washers and nuts.
Thread the parent press nuts onto the threaded rods (WB) and adjust the drive belt tension so that it deflects
1/4 - 1/2 inch (6 - 13 mm). To ensure that the replacement motor assembly is level, be certain that the
dimension (WG) is the same for each threaded rod when the belt tension is correct.

WARNING: BE SURE ALL GUARDS, COVERS, AND SAFETY DEVICES ARE INSTALLED
AND PROPERLY ADJUSTED BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT. IF THE T-51 IS REMOVED
FROM THE PARENT PRESS, THE ORIGINAL GUARDING MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE
OPERATING THE PRESS. WHEN THE T-51 IS SWUNG OFF TO THE SIDE, THE REPLACEMENT SAFETY GUARD MUST BE USED BEFORE OPERATING THE PRESS.

11. Remove the 4 screws that secures the control board (QA) to the control box. Leave the wires connected
to the board. Thoroughly clean the back side of the control board, heat sink (QB), and mounting surfaces of
the control box with alcohol. Completely coat the back side of the board and heat sink with the provided
Silicone Heat Sink Compound (QC). Install the board and heat sink using the provided
screws, washers, and nuts.
12. Mount the non-operator side cabinet cover being certain that the fan is plugged into the circuit.
13. Recalibrate the TORQUE (QF) limiting potentiometer as follows:
WARNING: The recalibration procedure should only be done by authorized technicians. Also, if the IR
COMP (QK), MIN SPEED (QL), or MAX SPEED (QM) potentiometers need to be adjusted, refer to the
Multigraphics manual section entitled Safety, Drive, Control 21-3. HOWEVER, THE TORQUE (I-LIM)
POTENTIOMETER MUST BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO
PREVENT EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Open the cabinet doors and take off the control box cover.
Connect the terminals of a millivolt meter to the resistor at the locations (QD) and (QE). Set the meter to
read millivolts.
Turn the speed control to the position 10 so that the speed is 10000 impressions per hour. Plug in the
parent press.
WARNING: When performing the following step, do not adjust the meter reading above 95mV since the
handwheel cannot always be held above this reading. If the correct mV meter readings cannot be
achieved, the IR COMP (QK), MIN SPEED (QL), or MAX SPEED (QM) potentiometers may need to be
adjusted by referring to the Multigraphics manual section entitled Safety, Drive, Control 21-3.
Use the Multigraphics safety interlock by-pass key so that the parent press can be operated. While 1
technician stalls the motor by holding the handwheel, another technician must turn the screw (QF1) on
the potentiometer so that the meter reading is 95mV and then turn the screw the opposite direction to
decrease the reading to 92mV. Use the provided screwdriver to perform this adjustment.
14.WARNING: Remove the by-pass key. Install the control box cover and close the cabinet doors.

WARNING: BE SURE ALL GUARDS, COVERS, AND SAFETY DEVICES ARE INSTALLED
AND PROPERLY ADJUSTED BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT. IF THE T-51 IS REMOVED
FROM THE PARENT PRESS, THE ORIGINAL GUARDING MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE
OPERATING THE PRESS. WHEN THE T-51 IS SWUNG OFF TO THE SIDE, THE REPLACEMENT SAFETY GUARD MUST BE USED BEFORE OPERATING THE PRESS.
