Preparation for Use
Before installing the motor unit, ensure there are no loose
parts and that nuts, screws etc. have been tightened to the
correct torque values. All ports should be plugged and
sealed to prevent the ingress of dirt.
Check the direction of rotation of the motor and identify the
connection ports accordingly.
Reduction Gearbox Oil
Note: The gearbox fill/level and drain plugs will be as shown
at fig. 1 or 2.
Set the reduction gearbox so that the filler/level and drain
plugs are on a perpendicular line, with the filler/level plug
uppermost.
Select the correct lubricating oil for the gearbox (see
Capacities and Specifications, Section 3).
To fill the gearbox, remove the filler plug and level plug (or
fill/level plug) and add the correct grade of gear oil until it
begins to overflow from the port.
Clean off surplus oil, seal-tape the plug threads and securely
tighten into position.
Note: Gearbox lubricating oil grades must not be mixed.
Operation
The motor and reduction gearbox should initially be
operated at low speed, without load. Several operations
(forward/reverse) should be carried out, checking for leaks
and noting any hydraulic hammer caused by air in the
hydraulic system.
Air should be bled from the system and the hydraulic oil
replenished as necessary.
Operate the motor and apply load gradually, ensuring the
system is free from vibration and noise.
