to far.
A. Remove silverflange head screw fromtop of mo-
tor and carefully install a 3/8 -- 16 eyebolt into motor
(Fig. 53). Thread eyebolt into motor approximately
four (4) turns taking care to not bottom eyebolt into
internal field coils. Secure eyebolt with jam nut. Use
eyebolt for support and as a lifting point for motor re-
moval.
B. Use lifting strap wrapped around motor housing
