it in the open position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of
power.

4.All moving parts should be guarded.
5.Be careful when touching the

exterior of an operating motor; it
may be hot enough to be painful or
cause injury. Modern-design motors
run hot when operated at rated load
and voltage.

6.Protect the power cable from

coming in contact with sharp
objects.

7.Do not kink the power cable and

never allow the cable to come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces,
or chemicals.

8.Make certain that the power source

conforms to the requirements of
your equipment.

9.Before energizing the motor which

drives the speed reducer, be sure
that the reducer output shaft key is
either fully captive, or is removed.

10.Clean electrical or electronic

equipment with approved cleaning
agent such as dry cleaning solvent.

Installation

When an
installation

involves a holding or overhauling
application (such as a hoist or
conveyor), a separate magnetic
brake or other locking device
should be used. Do not depend on
gear friction to hold the load.

1. Locate the speed reducer in a clean

and dry area with access to adequate
motor cooling air supply. If
installation is outdoors, make certain
that the unit is protected from the
weather.

2. Mount unit to a rigid surface,

preferably metallic using largest bolts
that will fit through the base holes.

NOTE:

The speed reducer is intended

for horizontal floor, wall, or ceiling
mounting only. (The output shaft must
be horizontal).

3. For shipment, 4 pipe plugs are

packed separately. After mounting
unit in position as instructed in step
2, remove pipe plug located in
highest position, and install vent plug
in its place. (Correct oil level for
mounted unit is just below pipe plug
in side position).

4. Attach motor to speed reducer. (See

Figure 3).

Do not exceed
motor HP and

torque rating indicated on
nameplate in Specifications.

a. Speed reducer is to be used with

any NEMA Frame 56C face
mounted, 1725 RPM electric
motor (max. 1/3 HP) without feet.
Make sure motor shaft is clean
and free of dirt. Lubricate input
shaft bore with heavy grease or
anti-seize compound provided
with reducer.

Figure 2 - Attaching the Motor

Do not use key
supplied with

motor. Use short key supplied with
reducer. (Failure to use short key
makes assembly impossible.

b. Insert short key (B in Figure 3) into

reducer shaft sleeve. Line up
keyway in 5/8: diameter motor
shaft (A in Figure 3) with keyway
in reducer shaft sleeve. Carefully
insert motor shaft until C face of
motor fits into place against
reducer, with four mounting
holes in reducer (C in Figure 3)
lined up with tapped holes in
motor C face.

Do not force
shaft into

coupling.

c. Four screws to fit the tapped

holes in the motor face are
supplied for mounting. Insert two
screws in the two upper holes, but
do not tighten completely. Insert
lower two screws finger-tight and
then back off 3/4 turn. Tighten
upper two screws. Then tighten
lower two screws.

d. Run motor momentarily and then

turn off. Motor should coast
freely to indicate no binding in
motor shaft.

e. To reverse direction of reducer

rotation, reverse motor leads.

5. Attaching (coupling) the load:

NOTE:

To determine output torque

capacity for operating conditions other
than a normal 8 hour day and shock
free operation, multiply the rated
output torque (see Specifications) by
the applicable load factor listed below.
Shock loads should be avoided,
