Inspection of Lubrication Method
• Oil lubricated units are shipped without oil, unless the customer specified otherwise when the unit was
ordered. Always fill the unit with the correct type and quantity of lubricant prior to operation.
• Certain models must be filled with lubricant in two separate locations, the bevel gear portion (output) and
the input portion.
Refer to the Lubrication section (page 21) in this manual for detailed lubrication information.
Installation
• Do not use the reducer/gearmotor for specifications other than those shown on the nameplate or in the
manufacturing specification documents. Personnel injury and/or equipment damage may occur.
• Do not place combustible material on or around the unit; fire may occur.
• Do not place any objects around the unit that will prohibit proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may
lead to high unit temperature and/or fire.
• Do not step on or hang from the unit. Excessive weight may cause component breakage leading to
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
• Do not touch the shaft, keyway, or motor fan with bare hands; injury may occur.
• For applications in which lubricant leaks could adversely affect operations (i.e., package handling, food
processing), place an oil pan below the unit to protect against contamination that may occur if oil seals
become damaged or worn.
• Do not remove the eye-bolt from the motor, should you need to remove the eye-bolt for any reason,
install a replacement bolt in the tapped hole to prevent water from entering the motor.
