Step 5
• Rotate the output shaft of the reduction gear by 1 or 2 turns.
Do not use the motor to rotate the output shaft of the reduction gear for safety, if possible. If the
motor is used by necessity, run the motor at a low speed and never touch the rotation section.
Otherwise, you could be caught by the rotation section, which will result in serious injury.
Step 6
• Repeat
steps 1 to 5
until the lubricant is filled up to the specified level.
Step 7
• After filling the lubricant up to the specified level, wipe the lubricant off from the tapped holes for
injecting/draining grease and then install the plugs removed in step 1 after sealing them with a seal
tape, etc.
• If the customer’s component is flush with the tapped holes for injecting/draining grease, tighten it
so that the plugs will not protrude from the edge surface.
