Safety First

High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious or fatal injury. Safe installation,

operation and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel. Familiariza-

tion with and adherence to NEMA MG2, the National Electric Code and local codes

is recommended. It is important to observe safety precautions to protect personnel

from possible injury. Personnel should be instructed to:

1. Avoid contact with energized circuits or rotating parts.

2. Disconnect all power sources before initiating any maintenance or repair.

3. Act with care in accordance with prescribed procedures in handling and

lifting this equipment.

4. Be sure the unit is electrically grounded in accordance with code

requirements.

5. Be sure equipment is properly enclosed to prevent access by children

or other unauthorized personnel in order to prevent possible accidents.

6. Be sure shaft key is fully captive before unit is energized.

7. Avoid contact with capacitors until safe discharge procedures have

been completed.

8. Most units are shipped with oil. Always be sure oil lubricated units are

filled with correct oil to proper level before operating.

9. Provide proper safeguards for personnel against rotating parts and

applications involving high inertia loads, which can cause overspeed.

10. Avoid extended exposure to equipment with high noise levels.

11. Be familiar with the equipment and read all instructions thoroughly

before installing or working on equipment.

Installation Instructions

Start-Up

Before operating the reducer or gearmotor, the following must be done:

• Install the drive on a rigid and vibration-free surface.

• Remove the protective coating on the shaft and flange. Use solvent

if necessary.

• Carefully install coupling, sheaves, sprockets, or pinions on shaft.

Mount as close to the shaft shoulder as possible.

• It is preferable to use heat instead of force.

Do not hammer on shaft!

• Check shaft alignment when using direct coupling.

• Check shaft parallelism when using belt or chain drive.

CAUTION:

Refer to belt manufacturer's recommendation for belt tension.

(Tension should not be applied on chain drives.)

• Check oil level in oil lubricated reducer.

• Install breather plug in the plug hole per recommendations shown on

page (5, 7, or 9) for sizes larger than frame 30.

Maintenance

Safe operation and product performance is improved with periodic inspections. It is

recommended the reducer or gearmotor be inspected every 50 hours of operating

time.

• Check mounting bolts and belt tension (if applicable).

Note:

The preventative maintenance list below should be performed every

5000 hours of operating time:

• Check oil level and add oil if necessary.

• Make sure the vent plug pin in the breather is clean.
