1. Remove the (2) screws that secure the top drive assembly cover
3. Set the top cover to the side and out of the way so that it does
not become a trip hazard. From here, the next step will be to
remove the bottom cover. This will require using the 7/16” socket
with ratchet and most likely the 7/16” combination wrench. Do not
lose the hardware for the covers as your repair kits do not come
with the hardware necessary to replace these. If you do require
hardware that is not present in your kits, do not hesitate to contact

The drive motor and the gear reducer of your Jackson
rack conveyor are responsible for moving racks of ware through
the dishmachine. If needed to be replaced, these instructions will
show you how to get your machine up and running in the shortest
possible time.
Jackson offers all of the repair parts necessary for performing this task.
The instructions provided here are for maintenance personnel only. Unauthorized persons should not attempt any of the
steps contained in these instructions.
Warning: many of the instructions and steps within
this document require the use of tools. Only authorized per sonnel should ever perform any maintenance procedure on
the dishmachine!
PREPARATION
1. Power must be turned off to the unit at the service
breaker. Tag or lock out the service breaker to prevent accidental
or unauthorized energizing of the machine.
TOOLS REQUIRED
The following tools will be needed to perform this mainte-
nance evolution:
1. 7/16” socket and ratchet with extension
2. 9/16” socket and ratchet with extension
3. 7/16” combination wrench
4. 9/16” combination wrench
5. 3/4” combination wrench
6. 1/8” Allen wrench

Removing the screws from the top cover.
2. Remove the top cover to expose the drive assembly.
TIME REQUIRED
It is estimated that it will take (1) person one and a quarter hours to replace the drive motor, one and a quarter hours to just
replace the gear reducer or two hours to do both at one time, not
including all of the items indicated in the section entitled “PREPA RATION”.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting
this maintenance procedure. Become familiar with the parts and
what actions need to be taken. This will save time in the long run!
2. The procedures demonstrated in this manual are
shown being performed on an AJ-44 rack conveyor dishmachine.
The actual maintenance steps, however, apply to any drive motor
or gear reducer found on a Jackson rack conveyor dishmachine.

motor may now be disposed of.

one had been. Refer to the schematic on the motor itself or contact
Jackson Technical Service if you any questions.
16. Once the wiring is done, carefully push wires back into the
motor and put the access cover back on. Tighten down the screws
for securing it.
17. The drive motor now needs to be reattached to the gear reducer. There are two methods for doing this. The first is to try and and
reinsert the drive motor shaft into the gear reducer with it (gear
reducer) still attached to the unit. This is difficult but possible.
Ensure that the key is in the keyway when you mate the parts. The
second method and perhaps the easiest is to remove the gear
reducer, mate the two parts and bolt them together and then put
them on the unit at one time. This method takes a little more time.
If you wish to remove the gear reducer and assemble the two components continue on to step 27.

18. Once the motor and gear reducer are mated, secure them with
the locknuts and bolts. Ensure the bolts are tight.
Note: Because of the way the covers for the drive assembly are
designed, it is imperative that you position the motor on the gear
reducer so that the conduit fitting is facing towards the front of the
dishmachine. If it is facing away from the machine, the covers may
not go back on.
