• Provide flow switch or flow sight to check the circulation of the lubricating oil. Stop the motor of drive unit or reducer
when abnormality occurs.
8-3) Lubrication Maintenance
(1) Oil change interval
Table 20 Oil change interval
• Please consult lubricant supplier when atmosphere is contains corrosive gas or where ambient temperature changes
dramatically.
• The grease lubricated models are packed with grease prior to
shipment and attached grease nipple and grease discharge plug.
Please check the number of grease nipples and their positions
carefully.
• Please check Table 17 on Page 21 for unit requiring grease
lubrication.
• Please see Fig.33 and 34 on Page 25 for positions of grease
nipples and drain plugs.
•
For equipment with motor oil pump, run the pump prior to starting the drive unit or reducer.
Start motor of drive unit or reducer after lubricating oil has circulated through the bearings. Otherwise, the
