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
personnel 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.
Installation Location
Ambient Temperature Range: 14 – 104°F (-10 – 40°C)
Ambient Humidity: 85% or less

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.
Installation Angle
You must mount the unit horizontally. Please consult Sumi-
tomo if the unit needs to be installed in a position other than
horizontal.
If the unit was manufactured for a mounting position other than
horizontal, do not mount it in a position other than the one
specified.
Horizontal is the shaft orientation for standard units. Consult
Sumitomo for shaft directions other than horizontal.
• 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.
Severe Loading Conditions
For applications with severe vibration and/or frequent starts and
stops, Sumitomo recommends the use of high-strength bolts of
Grade 8.8 (or greater) to mount the reducer/gearmotor.
Installation onto the Driven Machine
• Beforemountingthereducer/gearmotortothe
machine, verify the appropriate/desired rotation of
the machine. Differences in the rotational direc-
tion may cause personnel injury and/or equipment
damage.
• Ifakeyisattachedtothekeyedhollowbore,tem-
porarilyremovethekeyiftheunitisnotcoupledto
the driven machine and you wish to run the unit.
• 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
personnel 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 recommenda-
tions. 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 personnel
injury and/or equipment damage.
