Important Selection Information

Read ALL instructions and safety precautions prior to

The system of connected rotating parts must be free from
critical speed, torsional, or other type vibration, regardless
of how induced. The responsibility for this system analysis
lies with the purchaser of the gear unit.

Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining the
adequacy of the product for any and all uses to which the
buyer shall apply the product. The application by buyer
shall not be subject to any implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Lubrication

All GROVE GEAR Helical Bevel gearmotors and gear
reducers are supplied with the correct quantity of
lubricating oil for the mounting position specified at time
of order.

Before Installation

Review the approved mounting positions

and lubrication levels identified on page 4 of these
instructions. Do not deviate from the mounting positions or
lubrication levels shown without contacting the factory.

For transportation, the units are supplied as sealed
gearcases, i.e., in place of the breather plug, a socket head
plug is installed. The breather plug accompanies the unit in
the lubrication instructions and hardware envelope.
