proper oil level prior to installation and start-up. All other mounting positions will require the
oil level to be measured out prior to filling the unit based on the value in the table labeled
OIL CAPACITIES below.
CAUTION: On ALL quill style input units, cast iron and stainless with the input
mounted vertical shaft up or input under will require a double input seal
arrangement to prevent leakage or C-face coupled style units should be
used. Consult factory
