Motor Mounts
The motor mount must be installed on output end of reducer
as shown in Figure 5. Note: The TORQUE-ARM motor mount
cannot be used in applications requiring the use of TRI-MATIC
®
overload release.
Remove two or three (as required) housing bolts on output end
of reducer. Place the motor mount in position and install the
longer housing bolts supplied with the motor mount. Tighten
bolts to torque specified in Table 4.
Install motor, drive sheave and driven sheave so that driven
sheave is as close to the reducer housing as practical. Install
V-belt and tension with the four adjusting screws provided on
TORQUE-ARM motor mount.
Check all bolts to see that they are securely tightened.

WARNING: Do not operate if belt guard is not in place.
Guidelines for Torque-Arm Reducer
Long-Term Storage
During periods of long storage, or when waiting for delivery or
installation of other equipment, special care should be taken
to protect a gear reducer to have it ready to be in the best
condition when placed into service.
By taking special precautions, problems such as seal leakage
and reducer failure due to lack of lubrication, improper
lubrication quantity, or contamination can be avoided. The
following precautions will protect gear reducers during periods
of extended storage:
Preparation:
1. Drain oil from the unit. Add a vapor phase corrosion
inhibiting oil (VCI-105 oil by Daubert Chemical Co.) in
accordance with Table 3.
2. Seal the unit airtight. Replace the vent plug with a standard
pipe plug and wire the vent to the unit.
3. Cover all unpainted exterior parts with a waxy rust
preventative compound that will keep oxygen away from
the bare metal. (Non-Rust X-110 by Daubert Chemical Co.
or equivalent).
4. The instruction manuals and lubrication tags are paper
and must be kept dry. Either remove these documents
and store them inside, or cover the unit with a durable
waterproof cover which can keep moisture away.
5. Protect reducer from dust, moisture, and other
contaminants by storing the unit in a dry area.
6. In damp environments, the reducer should be packed
inside a moisture-proof container or an envelope of
polyethylene containing a desiccant material. If the reducer
is to be stored outdoors, cover the entire exterior with a
rust preventative.
When placing the reducer into service:
1. Assemble the vent plug into the proper hole.
2. Clean the shaft extensions with petroleum solvents.
3. Fill the unit to the proper oil level using a recommended
lubricant. The VCI oil will not affect the new lubricant.
Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual.
