Hey all,
I just thought I would share this.
I have a 10hp, American Rotary RPC. About a week ago it started making an awful noise on start-ups. Kind of a high pitched scraping noise and it lasted for a split second. In addition, when I powered up my lathe, I could hear the RPC make the same noise.
I contacted American Rotary, they suggested I retorque the 4 bolts that hold the end caps to the motor.
I retorqued as specified, 158 inch#.
The noise is gone!!!!!
FYI
