INSTALLATION
1. Use lifting bracket to lift reducer.
2. Determine the running positions of the reducer. (See
Figure 1). Note that the reducer is supplied with 6
plugs; 4 around the sides for horizontal installations
and 1 on each face for vertical installations. These
plugs must be arranged relative to the running
positions as follows:
Horizontal Installations–Install the magnetic drain
plug in the hole closest to the bottom of the reducer.
Throw away the tape that covers the lter/ventilation plug
in shipment and install plug in topmost hole. Of the 2
remaining plugs on the sides of the reducer, the lowest
one is the minimum oil level plug.
Vertical Installations–Install the lter/ventilation plug in
the hole provided in the upper face of the reducer housing
as installed. If space is restricted on the upper face, install
the vent in the highest hole on the side of the reducer per
Figure 1. Install a plug in the hole in the bottom face of
the reducer. Do not use this hole for the magnetic drain
plug. Of the remaining holes on the sides of the reducer,
use the plug in the upper housing half for the minimum oil
level plug.
