IMM-0018EN - Installation and Maintenance Manual
7.5 CHECK THE MOUNTING POSITION
The mounting position must be in accordance with the mounting position mentioned on the name plate. If different please con-
tact Dana Motion Systems Italia S.r.l. for possibilities of using in a different mounting position. Refer to the mounting positions
and oil quantities on this manual and adjust the oil level accordingly with the recommended oil types given on this manuel.
7.6 USE THE BREATHER PLUG
Breather plugs are not needed for D series under normal ambient and working conditions (Up to 30 ºC ambient temperature
and up to 8 hours per day) . If heavy ambient conditions and long time working hours then breather plug are recommended by
Dana Motion Systems Italia S.r.l. and delivered with the gearbox together. Replace the breather plug with the most top plug
according to your mounting position.
7.7 CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
On the mounting position tables the oil level plug is shown. Please refer to those tables and be sure that the oil level is correct
according the mounting position by screwing half way out the level plug and see if oil comes out from that plug. If oil comes out
tighten the plug again. If no oil comes out take out the filling plug and add oil until oil comes out from the level plug and tighten
both plugs after finish. Be sure you are using the correct oil mentioned on the oil tables on this manual.
7.8 CHECK SHAFT ENDS AND MOUNTING FACES
Before you start to installing be sure that all the connection elements are free of oil and dust. The output shaft may be protected
by anti-corrosion oil. Please remove this using available solvents on your market. By using this do not touch sealing lips or paint-
ing of the housing.
7.9 COVER ABRASIVE AMBIENT
If the gear unit will be placed on a abrasive ambient be sure that the output seals are covered so that no abrasive material,
chemicals or water touches the seals. Any pressure coming from outside over the seals can cause that the out staying sub-
stances to enter the gearbox and cause serious damage to the gear unit. If pressure or abrasive material can not be prevented
from coming over the sealing, contact Dana Motion Systems Italia S.r.l. for solutions.
7.10 CHECK ACCESSIBILITY TO FILLING, BREATHER AND DRAIN PLUGS
The filling, breather and drain plugs must be freely accessible for further checking and service.

the standard M1 position plugs are machined.
DANGER
Do not mix synthetic oils with mineral which can cause serious damage on the gear unit.
DANGER
Abrasive material, chemicals, water, positive or negative pressure exceeding 0,2 bar can affect or damage the sealing lip or
output shaft. Inside entering substances from the seals can cause serious damage to the gear unit.
