CAUTION: A unit cannot be used as an integral part of a machine superstructure
which would impose additional loads on the unit other than those imposed
by the torque being transmitted either through a shaft-mounted
arrangement, and any shaft mounted power transmitting device. (e.g.
sprockets, pulleys, couplings)
CAUTION: For safe operation and to maintain the unit warranty, when changing a
factory installed fastener for any reason, it becomes the responsibility of
the person making the change to properly account for fastener grade,
thread engagement, load, tightening torque and the means of torque
retention.`
LUBRICATION
CAUTION: On ALL quill style input units with a motor mounted vertical shaft up or
quill under on the input will require a double input seal arrangement to
prevent leakage or C-face coupled style units should be used. Consult
factory.
All standard helical ratio multipliers ordered from the factory are shipped with standard
compounded lubricant and is good for ambient temperature ranges of 30 F to 104 F. All
washdown and stainless steel helical ratio multipliers ordered from the factory are shipped with
synthetic NSF H1 Food Grade lubricant and are good for ambient temperature ranges of -10 F
to 105 F. Double reduction units have separate oil sumps and must be filled and checked
independently. Use of synthetics can cause problems if they are not compatible with the seals
or conventional lubes they replace. Prior to startup, verify that the oil is at the level shown
on the drawing below. If the ambient temperature will be outside the range for the lubricant
installed at the factory, drain and refill the reducer with the proper viscosity lubricant prior to use.
VENT PLUG LOCATION
Washdown and stainless steel units are supplied with a Heinrichs Breather with a rubber
transportation lock. The transportation lock must be completely removed before operation.
Failure to do so may cause the unit to leak. See below.
Before putting the unit into operation, it may be necessary to relocate the vent plug for positions
other than standard (M1). Substitute the vent plug for the solid plug at the position desired.
Install the solid plug in the location the vent plug was removed from. Refer to the following chart
for the recommended vent plug locations based on mounting position.
