Reducer.)
1. Tilt the U-arm horizontal to the ground. (Refer to Fig 9-6.)
(The L-arm is in the vertical posture.)
2. Remove the hexagon socket head plug PT3/8 from the grease
exhaust port.

• If grease is injected with the plug on, the grease will leak
inside the motor and may cause a damage. Make sure to
remove the plug before the grease injection.
• Do not install a joint, a hose, etc. to the grease exhaust
port. Failure to observe this instruction may result in
damage to the motor due to coming off of an oil seal.
