Installation Precautions
• Donotusethereducer/gearmotorforspecications
other than those shown on the nameplate or in the
manufacturing specification documents. Personal
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aect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
the eye-bolt need to be removed for any reason,
install a replacement bolt in the tapped hole to
prevent water from entering the motor.

Atmosphere .................................. The location should not contain
corrosive gas, explosive gas, or
steam. The location should be free
of dust and well ventilated.
Location .........................................Indoor – free of dust and water
Consult Sumitomo when the unit will operate in conditions other
than those specified above. Special unit modifications may be
required.
Units manufactured according to customer specified application
requirements (i.e. outdoor modifications, high-temperature
modifications) are designed to operate within the specified
environment.
Install the unit so inspection and/or maintenance procedures may
be easily performed. Install all units that are not shaft mounted
on a sufficiently rigid base.
Torque arm clearance with machine structure is required to allow
for machine shaft run out. Refer to the Torque Arm Installation
section in this manual for additional information.
Installation Angle
Mount the unit in the specified position for which it was
ordered. Confirm the mounting position from the gearbox
nameplate.
Consult your local distributor, Original Equipment Manufacturer
or Sumitomo directly if the mounting angle is to be other than
horizontal or vertical.
Severe Loading Conditions
For applications with severe vibration and/or frequent starts and
stops, Sumitomo recommends the use of high-strength mounting
bolts of Grade 8.8 (or greater).
Installation onto the Driven Machine
• Beforecouplingthereducer/gearmotortothe
machine, verify the appropriate/desired rotation of
themachine.Dierencesintherotationaldirection
may cause personal injury and/or equipment dam-
age.
• Beforeoperatingtheunit,ensurethatallsafety
guards around the rotating components are
in-place and secure. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
• Whenjoiningthereducerorgearmotortotheload,
ensure that the center alignment, belt tension, and/
or parallelism of the coupling device are within the
coupling manufacturer’s established recommendations.
For applications with a belt, ensure that the belt is
properly tensioned to the manufacturer’s specification,
and the bolts securing the pulley and couplings
are sufficiently tightened. Failure to follow these
precautions may result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
