9. Daily inspection and maintenance
DANGER
Never approach or touch any rotating parts (shaft, etc.) when maintaining or inspecting the reducer during
operation.
Loose clothing cought in these rotating parts may result in severe injury and/or death.
Be sure to stop both the driving and driven machines before checking any tooth surfaces; otherwise, you may
be caught in the gear engaging section, resulting in severe injury and/or death.
Do not operate any units without all (safety) covers in place. Failure to do so may cause injury and/or death.
CAUTION
The surface of the reducer will get hot, do not touch the reducer ; otherwise, a burn may result.
Do not change the oil during operation or soon after operation has ceased ; otherwise, the hot oil may cause
burns.
Do not remove any covers or open the reducer during operation ; otherwise, splashing hot lubricant may
cause burn.
Change lubricant according to the maintenance manual, and use only those recommended lubricants ;
otherwise, the system may be damaged.
We cannot assume any responsibility for damage or injury resulting from an unauthorized modification by a
customer.
9-1) Daily inspection
To ensure proper and contined optimum operation, use the table below to perform daily inspections of the unit.
When any abnomality is found during daily inspection, take appropriate corrective measures based on "10.
Troubleshooting (P.9)"
If normal operation is still not possible, contact the nearest agent, distributor, or service office.
(1) Change oil 500 hours or 6 months whichever comes first after initial start-up.
(2) In case of the oil temperature is below 80 C (176 F), a 8000 hours or 1 year (Whichever comes first) change interval
is recommended.
(3) In case of the oil temperature is above 80 C (176 F), a 4000 hours or 6 months (Whichever comes first) change
interval is recommended.

Details of inspection
Is there abnormal sound or sudden change in the noise characteristics during
operation ?
Is there any abnormal vibration or sudden change in the vibration of the
reducer?
Is the temperature of the surface of the reducer abnormally high ? Or is it
rising rapidly?
The temperature rise during operation differs according to the type of
reducers. A surface temperature of approx. 80 C (176 F)will not cause
any adverse effects as long as it does not rise significantly above this level.
Is the oil level decreasing ?
(Check the oil level with a dipstick or visible oil gauge when the reducer is not
operating)
Is oil leaking from the oil seal or other sections?
Have any bolts come loose ?

9-2) Change of lubricant
Deterioration of the oil will be accelerated when the ambient temperature changes rapidly or the ambient atmosphere
contains corrosive gases. In these situations consult with the lubricant manufacturer.
Do not operate damaged PARAMAX DRIVE FOR AIR COOLED CONDENSERS; otherwise, injury, fire,
or damage to the system may result.
