Note:

  Where  high  temperatures  and/or  a  dirty 

atmosphere exist more frequent changes may be 
necessary.  Periodically  check  to  ensure  the 
correct level of oil is in the reducer. Too little oil 
will  cause  accelerated  wear  on  the  gears.  Too 
much oil can cause overheating, seal deterioration 
and leakage. 

 

3.

 

Lubrication  -  The  correct  oil  to  use  in  your 

reducer depends on the worm’s RPM, ambient 

temperature  and  the  severity  of  use.  The 
following chart can be referred to for reducers 
with  1750  RPM  worm  speed,  operating  under 
normal  duty  and  with  ambient  temperatures 
from 18°F to 125°F (-8°C to 52°C). See Fig. 2.

General - Inspect weekly to make sure reducer 
remains securely bolted. 

 

Bearings 

 

1.

 

Lubrication  -  Greasing  frequency  should  be 
regulated to as many times as necessary to keep 
a small film of grease leaking at the seals. This 
will  protect  against  foreign  materials  entering 
the bearing. The following list is provided to aid 

 
you in acquiring the correct (or  an equivalent) 
grease. See Fig. 3.

Note:

 Do not over grease as this can cause blown 

seals or overheating bearings. 

 

2.

 

Replacement - If bearing replacement becomes 
necessary, remember to clean off the shaft, file 
smooth any grooves or set screw marks and oil 
the shaft before slipping on the new bearing. 

 

Note:

  If  the  bearing  does  not  slide  easily  onto  the 

shaft,  use  a  soft  metal  bar  or  mallet  to  tap 
against the inner race. 

 

3.

 

General  Maintenance  -  Set  up  a  weekly  check 
on  all  bearings  to  ensure  they  remain  tightly 
bolted  down,  set  screws  remain  fastened 
securely and they are correctly lubricated. 

 

Chain and Sprockets 

 

1.

 

Lubrication - For long chain life a constant film 
of oil is recommended. Use a good quality, non-
detergent,  petroleum-based  oil  from  the  list 
shown in Fig. 4.

removing any guards to apply lubrication.
