Lubrication & Installation Instructions
SAFETYRotary equipment is dangerous unless adequately guarded.the user is responsible for complying with all applicablesafety regulations. Adequate safety instructions must begiven by the user to personnel directly responsible for theinstallation, maintenance, and operation of the equipment.The gear unit must not be operated above its service rating.
ATTENTION: Unit should be inspected immediately on receiptof shipment for any indication of rough handling or damage. Anyevidence of this should be reported immediately to the carrierand a claim entered. This may show up as scuffed paint,broken or cracked castings, bent shafts, metal deformation or ashift in alignment of components.
Do not operate if mounted on the ceiling, on awall, or on an incline unless the unit has been specifically modified for such an installation. Special lubrication arrangements must be provided when the mounting is otherthan standard floor mounting on a level, horizontal surface.
INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT - Read the following instructions carefully and usethem as the basis for proper care of your unit. All tags and bulletins wired to the unit should be carefully read and filed forfuture reference.
STORAGE
NORMAL PREPARATIONPrior to shipment, all gear units are tested with a rust inhibitingoil that covers all interior surfaces. Shaft extensions and external machine surfaces are coated with a drying-film rust-preventive material. These measures constitute the normalpreparation for shipment and for temporary delays during installation, and will provide some protection, for some period oftime, depending on the ambient conditions. Outdoor,unprotected storage is not recommended. The table in thenext column shows approximate storage periods.
* Unit stored on blocks and covered with a tarpaulin in a protected area.
** Dry building with reasonably constant temperature.
PREPARATION FOR LONG-TERM STORAGEIf the storage period provided by normal preparation is not adequate, the gear unit must be prepared for long-term storage.
Protection of gear units against corrosion of internal surfacesduring long-term storage is best accomplished by submergingthe internals in oil and limiting the entry of air into any remainingspace over the oil. The major problem in the preparation of the
units is to prevent leakage of the oil, which would (1) lower theoil level and leave surfaces exposed and (2) contaminate thestorage area. Despite careful preparation by the manufacturer,some oil seepage can be expected. The gear unit should belocated in the storage area so as to avoid damage to otherequipment and the surroundings.
It is preferable that long-term preparation be done at the factorybut, if this is not possible, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Place the gear unit on wooden blocks.
2. Tighten all bolts on the housing and all pipe connectionssuch as plugs, standpipes, dipstick caps, and heaters.Replace the breather with a pressure-relief valve having a 1PSI setting.
3. Clean the outside diameter surfaces of the bearing coversand the adjacent surfaces of the bearing blocks with solvent. Apply a fillet of adhesive sealant such as GeneralElectric RTV-102 around the junction of these surfaces.
4. All exposed unpainted parts such as shafts should becoated thoroughly with a corrosion preventative compound,solvent cut back type, leaving a firm film. Use Nox Rust No.369 (Daubert Chemical Co.) or equivalent.
5. Completely fill the gear unit with the type of lubricant specified for operation, and tighten the fill-hole plug.
6. Protect other Buyer’s or Seller’s vendor-furnished items inaccordance with the manufacturer’s recommended storageprocedures.
7. Cover the gear unit with tarpaulins.
8. It is recommended that the input shaft of every reducer berotated once a month enough turns to produce one complete turn on the output shaft to prevent Water Etchingor False Brinelling of the bearings and seizure of theElastomeric Seal Lip Material on the shaft.
PROTECTION OF ASSOCIATEDEQUIPMENT IN STORAGE
COUPLINGSFill with recommended lubricant. Coat the external surfaceswith heavy grease. Wrap plastic film around the coupling andtape the plastic to the shaft.
BACKSTOPRemove the outer half of the backstop guard. While rotating thebackstop, squirt a rust inhibiting oil such as Mobilarma 523(Mobil Oil Company) into every open pinhole in the backstophousing in a manner that will saturate every component in thebackstop assembly. Replace the backstop guard. Wrap plasticfilm around the backstop and tape the plastic to the shaft and tothe endbell snout.
CHAIN DRIVESRemove the chain from the drive, roll it up, coat it with grease,and wrap it in plastic film. Coat the sprockets with a firm film ofa corrosion-preventative compound such as Mobilarma 633.BELT DRIVESRemove the belt from the sheaves and wrap it in plastic film.Coat the sheaves with a firm film of a corrosion preventive compound such as Mobilarma 633.
MOTORSRefer to instructions on storage protection provided by the motormanufacturer. The bearings are usually prelubricated. Refer tomotor manufacturer for relube period. Use protective cover tokeep out water.
INSTALLATION
SAFETYIt is the purchaser’s responsibility to determine the applicablelocal and national safety codes related to speed reducers for thespecific installation involved. Shaft guarding and noise levelrequirements particularly should be checked, and any requirements involving the reducer clearly specified.
PREPARING THE GEAR UNITFOR INSTALLATION
Just prior to installation, remove the protective coatings andtouch up any rust spots. If the unit was filled with oil suitable foroperation under ambient conditions, it can be drained down tothe recommended operating level. If the oil is not suitable foroperation, the unit must be drained and refilled to the recommended level with the grade and type of oil shown on thenameplate for the ambient temperature. Reinstall the breather.
Inspect the seal lips carefully. While in storage, they may havedeteriorated, the seal will not perform satisfactorily, and must bereplaced.
FOUNDATIONThe gear unit should be mounted on a rigid foundation such asa reinforced concrete pad, a base plate, or a steel structure. Aninadequate foundation will permit misalignment under loadwhich may result in noise or overloading of elements in the drivetrain.
Install broad, flat metal shims under the feet to level the gear unitand to align it with the motor and the driven equipment. Afterbolting the gear unit in place, recheck the alignment; it may benecessary to modify the heights to the shim packs to compensate for the effect of torquing the foundation bolts.
Do not mount the gear drive on ceiling, on awall, or on an incline unless the unit has been specifically modified for such an installation. Special lubrication arrangements must be provided when the mounting is otherthan standard floor mounting on a level, horizontal surface.
SHAFT CONNECTIONSWHEN GEARING, BELTS OR CHAINS are used to connect the
gear unit to the prime mover or driven equipment, the pinion,sheave, or sprocket should be mounted on the shaft as closelyas possible to the bearing cover to minimize shaft deflection andbearing load. Check the overhung loads to be certain that theydo not exceed the catalog ratings and that the points of application are not outboard of the bearing cover by more thanone shaft diameter. If the overhung load is more than one shaftdiameter outboard of the bearing cover, the catalog rating will be reduced. Refer to appropriate catalog section, to determinethe actual overhung-load rating, or consult the factory.
For satisfactory performance of belt drives and chain drives,sheaves and sprockets must be properly aligned. A straight-edge laid across the sides of sheaves and sprockets, as shownbelow, will facilitate below.
EXTERNAL GEARING must be adjusted for proper backlash,face centering, and alignment. Backlash can best be checkedwith a feeler gauge. Face centering can be gauged satisfactorily by eye–the wider member (usually the pinion)should extend beyond the narrower member approximatelyequally on both sides. Alignment can be checked by blueing theteeth, running the drive under load, and noting the contact pattern. Contact should be symmetrical about the center of thegear face; corner contact is unacceptable. Face pattern andcontact pattern are illustrated below. If the gear unit is to be coupling-connected to the prime mover or the driven equipment,
or both, flexible couplings must be used. Rigid couplings are notsuitable. Flexible couplings can compensate for reasonableamounts of misalignment but it is good practice to maintain goodalignment between the gear unit and the connected equipment.It is also necessary to adjust the location of the connectedequipment relative to the gear unit to provide the coupling gap(endwise clearance) between shafts that is recommended bythe coupling manufacturer.

Lubrication & Installation Instructions
Coupling alignment errors are of two kinds; angular misalignment and parallel misalignment. Satisfactory alignmentof the two shafts is easier to achieve if angular misalignment iscorrected first.
Angular misalignment is illustrated below. It is most easilycorrected using a feeler gauge equal in thickness to the recommended coupling gap. When good angular alignmenthas been obtained, the gap measurement at points A, B, C andD will be all equal.
Parallel misalignment is illustrated below. It is corrected in thehorizontal direction by shifting one of the two connected unitssideways and in the vertical direction by shimming. When goodparallel alignment has been obtained, a straight edge at pointsA, B, C and D will simultaneously contact the outer surfaces ofboth coupling hubs.
After parallel misalignment has been corrected, it isrecommended that the angular alignment be rechecked andreadjusted as indicated.
The fit of a coupling hub, pinion, sprocket, or sheave on a gear-unit shaft will range from loose to heavy interference.Heavy hammer blows must never be used to mount any ofthese components on the shaft because the bearings in thegear unit may be damaged. If the component at the ambienttemperature cannot be mounted with light tapping, it must beexpanded by heating until it can. Heating will also facilitate theremoval of these components, reducing the likelihood of damaging the gear unit.
When mounting heated components on a gear-unit shaft, take care to protect the oil seal from heat damage. Use wet rags or an air hose to cool the shaft.
Do not overfill; a high oil level will generate heatthrough churning. To ensure proper lubrication of all movingparts, do not underfill or let the oil level drop more than 1/4 inchbelow the indicated level.
The initial oil fill should be changed after two weeks of operation. Thereafter, the oil should be changed every sixmonths under normal operating conditions.

OPERATIONSTART-UP1. After the installation has been completed, but
before the initial startup, the following checks should bemade.
A. Verify the rating of the reducer, (indicated on the name-plate and certified print) to be sure the service rating,RPM or speed range, thermal rating, and any overhungor thrust loading are not exceeded in actual operation.
B. Make sure reducer is filled with the correct lubricant tothe proper level. Too much oil in the reducer causeschurning and excessive heat generated by fluid friction.Likewise, an insufficient amount of oil will make thereducer operate at higher temperatures.
Make sure all oil passages are clear and permit free flowof the lubricant. Refer to section of this bulletin on lubrication and/or the nameplate affixed to the reducer.
C. On vertical units, check grease fittings for lubrication(unit shipped without grease in the L.S. bearings).
D. Lubricate couplings with manufacturer’s recommendedlubricant.
E. If backstop is used make sure it is filled to the oil levelmark with the proper lubricant.
F. Fan - On units equipped with a fan check the air supplyfor proper fan circulation. Avoid high surrounding ambienttemperatures,
2. Check for free rotation of all elements. In many cases, theinput shaft of the reducer can be turned by hand even witha connected load.
3. Check all bolts and capscrews to make sure they are tight.(See Fig. on Page 6)
4. Check belts and/or chains for proper tension.
5. After energizing motive power, if any undue noise occurs,shut off power immediately.
6. Observe temperature rise. This may take up to two hours tostabilize. In some instances depending on ratio, size andinput speed the temperature in the oil sump may rise asmuch as 100° F (55.6° C) above the ambient. Actual operating temperature will vary with the reducer size, ratio,type and operating conditions. Under no circumstancesshould the oil bath temperature exceed 200° F (93.3° C). Ifthis should occur, consult the factory. The housing and shaftadjacent to the high speed seal may show temperatures significantly above 200° F (93.3 C). This will diminish as theseal and shaft sealing area wear in. Application of oil at thisarea during the break-in period will help in assisting thisprocess.
Many times the reducer temperature isjudged by the touch of hand and may be considered to bequite hot. The only positive method is to use a surface temperature measuring instrument such as a Pyrocon or byusing a thermometer directly in the oil bath,
7. Bearings can produce localized heating from crampingeither radial or axial. Check for insufficient end play.
8. Do not operate this unit beyond its servicerating as any failure resulting could cause damage to property or life and limb.
9. The system of connected rotating parts mustbe free from critical speed, torsional or other type vibration,no matter how induced. The responsibility for this systemanalysis lies with the purchaser of the speed reducer.
MAINTENANCE CHECK POINTS
For optimum protection and preventative maintenance it is recommended that the reducer be inspected daily. Points tocover are:
1. OIL LEAKAGE at oil seal, housing split, bearing cap shims,pipe fittings. Tighten housing bolts, bearing cap bolts andpipe fittings and/or replace oil seal if leakage is sufficient tocause rapid drop in oil level. It may be necessary to addsealant between bearing cap shim packs and the housing.
2. OIL LEVEL - Any undue drop in oil level is an indication ofoil leakage from some point on the reducer and should becorrected. If backstop is used, check oil level also.
3. TEMPERATURE - Check the actual temperature of the oilbath, gear case, and shafts at various points. This should bedone after the unit has been in operation at least two hours.The average oil bath temperature is 140° F (60° C), however, the range can vary from 100° F to 200° F (37.8° to93.3° C). Bearings can produce localized heating fromcramping either radial or axial. Check for insufficient endplay. Any undue rise in temperature above that normallyencountered and not accountable for by a rise in the ambient should be investigated. Low oil level, abnormalloading, thickening of lubricant, bearing seizure are possiblesources. If in a particular bearing, the heat would be localized in the housing area adjacent to the bearing.
4. SOUND LEVEL - A sudden change in the sound level is apossible indication of low oil level, undue thinning out oflubricant, abnormal loading, worn coupling or deteriorationof internal parts.
Noise is usually difficult to isolate because sound can travelthroughout the entire drive system. A noise can be pin-pointed to a specific area by determining its approximatefrequency and if it is at accurate regular intervals.
5. LUBRICANT CONDITION - A change of color in the oil orthickening or unexplainable corrosion of internal parts is anindication that it has deteriorated and should be changed.
6. LOADING - Periodic load checks are valuable in makingsure that reducer rating is not exceeded.
7. OIL BREATHER - Must be kept clean,
8. VIBRATION - A change in the vibration normally associatedwith the system can indicate worn couplings or internalreducer parts.
9. DIRT ACCUMULATION - Any undue accumulation of dirt onthe reducer or in fan components where fans are used willaffect proper cooling of the unit.
10. GREASE LUBRICATE - Grease should be applied once amonth to the Alemite fitting on the L.S. bearing caps until itescapes from the Alemite relief fitting on the opposite side ofthe cap or from the outer seal lip, or from the labyrinth. Usesa good Lithium base grease (NLGI No. 2 consistency).
11. COUPLINGS - If noisy, check for lubrication.
12. REPAIR PARTS - Keep recommended spare parts, oil seals,and bearings on hand to reduce down time.
FOOD AND DRUG INDUSTRY
Some operations in the Food and Drug Industry require speciallubrication considerations in view of possible toxicity from contamination by the oil or grease used in the equipment. SomeEP products contain Lead Naphthenate, Phosphorus, orChlorine which are toxic and could be harmful.
In the Food (including animal food) and DrugIndustry, consult the petroleum supplier for recommendation oflubricants which are acceptable to the Food and DrugAdministration and/or other authoritative bodies having jurisdiction.
COUPLINGS
Each coupling shipped with a reducer is tagged with a list of theproper lubricants and an outline of the correct lubrication practice to follow. They should be relubricated at regular intervals and not allowed to go dry.
BREATHER
Each unit is equipped with a breather. This should be cleaned atintervals to insure that it is working.
NOTE: WITH OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED OF 68 RPM OR LESS, THE LOW SPEED LEVEL (HIGH OIL LEVEL) SHOULD BE USED, DATAAPPLIES TO HORIZONTAL FLOOR MOUNTED GEARMOTORS AND REDUCER MODELS.
* FOR VERTICAL UNITS (LOW SPEED DOWN), USE THE HIGH OIL LEVEL PLUG.
These are approximate amounts. Always fill your speed reducer to the oil level indicator for proper lubrication.
The vertical flange mounted drive has a grease fitting at the bottom of the housing at the output shaft. Re-grease with NLFI No. 2 consistencyLithium Base grease at three month intervals.
The seals at the shaft extensions should be purged periodically with NLGI No. 2 Lithium Base grease. Using a hand gun, pump grease into thefitting until the grease forced out around the shaft is clean. Pump slowly to avoid forcing grease past the lip seal and into the gear unit.
CAUTION

All Uni-Power 2000 & 4000 HIGH EFFICIENCYgearmotors and gear reducers are supplied with the correctquantity of lubricating oil for the mounting position specified attime of order.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Review the approved mounting positions and lubrication levelsidentified in Figures HI1 & HI2, CPS1, HB1, or HW1 & HW2. Donot deviate from the mounting positions or lubrication levelsshown without contacting the factory.For transportation, the units are supplied as sealed gearcases.In place of the breather plug, a pipe plug is installed. Thebreather plug accompanies the unit in the lubrication instructions and hardware envelope.
BEFORE OPERATING
After final installation, install the breather plug in the locationsspecified in Figures HI1 & HI2, CPS1, HB1, or HW1 & HW2 forthe appropriate mounting position.After installation, the actual mounting position should be confirmedagainst the mounting position shown on the gear reducer name-plate. Adequate lubrication is only guaranteed if the unit ismounted in the specific nameplated mounting position.
If the mounting position is changed, the oil quantity must be adjusted to obtain the proper oil level per theLubrication Instruction enclosed with each unit. Mounting position must be one shown in Figures HI1 & HI2, CPS1, HB1,or HW1 & HW2. Consult the factory if you are not certain of thecorrect oil level or quantity. Consult the factory for mountingpositions not shown.
VARIATIONS FROM NORMAL CONDITIONS
Input speeds that exceed the maximum speeds recommendedfor a given ratio, which are listed in the general catalog specifications, may require an adjustment in the oil level.Consult Foote-Jones for special lubricant recommendationswhen operating at higher speeds.
Do not use GL-90, 75W-90 or other extreme pressure (EP) lubricants containing friction modifiers such asgraphite or molybdenum disulfide in gear drives containing internal backstops. Lubricants with EP additives may producecoatings which adversely affect operation of the backstop. Injuryto personnel, damage to the reducer or other equipment mayresult.

SHAFT MOUNTED MODELS
Foote-Jones recommends application of an antiseize compound, such as Dow-Corning® 1000 High TemperatureAnti-seize Paste or Never-Seez®, to the driven shaft duringinstallation. This assists in preventing fretting corrosion and aidsin unit removal. Driven shaft should be supported independentlywith pillow block bearings. A suitable Torque Arm must be provided and can be ordered separately (not supplied) to keepunit from rotating. A torque arm pad can be attached to any ofthe four available mounting surface locations of the unit. Installand position Torque Arm at 90° angle to a line drawn betweenthe center of the output hollow bore and the bolt that attachesthe Torque Arm to the Torque Arm Pad of the unit. The TorqueArm should be positioned to be in tension, NOT compression,based on output rotation of the gear drive. (Figures CPS2, HB2,and HW3). A rigid torque arm can cause bearings to "load up"and cause premature bearing failure. To prevent this, provide aslight amount of "float" at the torque arm pivot points.
FLANGE MOUNTED UNITS
Units with the flange mount accessory are to bemounted and supported by the mounting flange only. Themounting pads on the housing are not to be used in conjunctionwith the mounting flange to support the unit.
SHAFT MOUNTED UNITS WITH MOUNTING FLANGE
There must be concentricity between the driven shaft and themachine register that accepts the mounting flange pilot to prevent misalignment between the hollow shaft of the drive andthe driven shaft.

A new Helical Worm Gear Drive will not operateat maximum efficiency during the run-in period. Increased current draw or heat rise may be seen during this time.
NOTE: OIL CAPACITIES These are only an approximation and should not be used as theexact figures for an oil fill. The high level is used on “U” and “O”housings when output speed is low or when prefix is used.
Fill to the oil level hole shown on the housing with an o-levelplate.
On double reduction units, the low speed and prefix units must be filled separately to the oil level indicated onthe housing.
LUBRICATION
This unit is shipped DRY! Oil must be added priorto operation. Any couplings attached are also DRY! and must belubricated prior to operation. Manufacturer’s recommendationsshould be followed.
The oil used should be a high quality product, having rust andoxidation inhibitors, anti-foaming agent, a high viscosity index(preferably above 90) and a low acid content. It should be neutral in reaction, free from grit or abrasives and non-corrosiveto gears or bearings
LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION1. The pour point of the oil should not exceed and preferably
should be 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 – 12.2° C) belowthe lowest ambient starting temperature.
2. When temperatures are below 15 degrees Fahrenheit,(-9.4° C) please refer to the factory for recommendationsgiving ambient temperature expected and operating cycle.
CHANGE CYCLEWe recommend changing oil every 2,500 hours or six monthswhichever occurs first. Make certain to be guided by seasonaltemperature variations and change oil accordingly. Operatingconditions can vary this guide line. Abnormal temperatures andcontamination can seriously affect the lubricant causing earlysludging, oxidation and acid formation. Under these conditions,a sample of the lubricant should be submitted to the petroleumsupplier at periodic intervals. This will enable the establishmentof a change cycle which would provide for renewal of the oilprior to its degradation. After the initial fill, the first oil changeshould be made after two weeks, or 100 hours of operation.
GREASE LUBRICATION - VERTICAL REDUCERGrease lubricate the upper and lower output shaft bearingsonce a month at the Alemite grease fitting. A good grade ofantifriction bearing grease or its equivalent should be used. Itshould have neutral and channeling characteristics with a consistency of NLGI#2. It should not be subject to excessivebleeding or deterioration.
This unit is shipped without grease in the L.S.bearings.

LUBRICATION
ALL POWERTORQUE® REDUCERS ARE SHIPPEDDRY AND OIL MUST BE ADDED PRIOR TO OPERATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION
All FOOTE-JONES shaft mount reducers are splash lubricated.Review the mounting positions and lubrication levels identified inFigure 1 on this sheet. The approximate oil quantities and approvedlubricants are also shown on this sheet.
Oil quantity is approximate. Service with oil until oil runs out of thelevel plug.Below 15 RPM output speed, the oil level must be adjusted to reachthe highest oil level plug. If the reducer mounting position is to varyfrom the positions shown in Figure 1, either more or less oil may berequired; consult the Factory.
Use of an oil with an EP additive on units with back-stops may prevent proper operation of the backstop. Injury to personnel, damage to the reducer or other equipment may result.
BEFORE OPERATING
After final installation, install the magnetic drain plug in the drainlocation specified in Figure 1. Remove the fill/vent plug and levelplug. Fill the reducer with recommended lubricant until oil startscoming out the oil level plug hole specified in Figure 1. Cleanthreads on removed plugs and plug holes with degreaser, coatplugs with thread sealant and install plugs securely in gear case.Install the vent plug in the location specified in Figure 1 for theappropriate mounting position. Remove the tape used to cover thevent plug during shipment and discard.
Do not operate the unit without making sure it contains the correct amount of oil. The oil level is correct when thesurface of the oil is level with the lowest point of the level plug shownin Figure 1.Do not overfill or underfill with oil. This could result in damage to the unit and/or injury to personnel.
VARIATIONS FROM NORMAL CONDITIONS
Input speeds that exceed the maximum speeds recommended for agiven ratio, which are listed in the general catalog specifications, mayrequire an adjustment in the oil level. Consult FJ for special lubricantrecommendations when operating at higher speeds.FOOTE-JONES PowerTorque® reducers may be mounted in any ofthe positions shown in Figure 1. These positions may vary up to 5°for positions “A” or “C” and 20° for positions “B” or “D” in either directionand still have adequate lubrication. If these angles of inclination areexceeded consult FJ for special lubrication instructions.Because mounting positions can very greatly along with the locationand availability of plugs in certain applications, it may be necessaryto install additional plugs as needed or level gages in place of levelplugs.
CHANGING LUBRICANT
After the first 100 hours of operation, drain out initial oil, flush out thegear case with an approved nonflammable, non-toxic solvent, suchas Whitmore’s Flushing Oil (#06802030) or MedallionTM Flushing OilKosher (#06812010), and refill. Thereafter, oil should be changed atleast every 2500 operating hours or every 6 months – whicheveroccurs first.
Oil should be changed with greater frequency if unitis used in a severe environment such as dusty or humid.
If the unit cannot be located in a clear and dry areawith access to an adequate cooling air supply, then precautionsmust be taken to avoid ingestion of contaminants such as water,and to avoid a reduction of cooling ability due to exterior contami-nants such as water, and to avoid a reduction of cooling ability dueto exterior contaminants.
POWERTORQUE™ Shaft Mount Reducer Lubrication & Installation
Oil, housings, and other components can reachhigh temperatures during operation, and can cause severe burns.Use extreme care when removing lubrication plugs and vents whileservicing the unit.
For PowerTorque® reducers with ambient temperature of 30-125°F(0 to 52°C) and operating temperature to 185°F (85°C).FOOTE-JONES GL-90 LUBRICANT is a heavy duty industrial gearlubricant containing sulfur phosphorous antiwear additives.Lubricants of this general type and meeting the above specificationsmay be substituted where FOOTE-JONES LUBRICANTS are recommended.Lubricant selected must be compatible with nitrile rubber seals. Forambient temperature above 125°F (52°C) or operating temperatureabove 185°F (85°C) consult the factory.
FOOTE-JONES SYNTHETIC 75W-90 LUBRICANT is a premiumgear box lubricant which is recommended for Gear Drives in mostapplications, especially those subject to low start up temperatureand/or high operating temperature. This lubricant is a synthesizedhydrocarbon based material and a sulfur-phosphorous gear lubricant additive which provides longer lubrication intervalsbecause of its increased resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation. This decreases maintenance costs. Further economyis realized because of the increased efficiency of units lubricatedwith FOOTE-JONES SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT. This lubricant canbe operated at temperatures considerably above 185°F (85°C).However, the factory should always be contacted prior to operatingat high temperatures as damage may occur to seals or other com-ponents. Lubricant manufacturer and FOOTE-JONES should becontacted when substituting a premium lubricant where FOOTE-JONES GEAR SYNTHETIC is recommended.
Do not mix nonsynthetic and synthetic oil in the unit.
If unit is used in the food or drug industry (including animal food) consult the petroleum supplier or FOOTE-JONES forrecommendation of lubricants which meet the specifications of FDA,USDA and/or other authoritative bodies having jurisdiction.Standard lubricants are not suitable for these applications or theseindustries.

Lubrication & Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
Wear protective clothing and eye shields wheninstalling or maintaining unit and machine.
Make certain that the power supply is disconnectedbefore attempting to service or install the unit, or remove or installany components. Lock out the power supply, and tag it to prevent unsuspected application of power.
The exterior holes on this drive are for mounting thedrive or drive accessories (mounting flange, couplings, sprockets,etc.). They are not to be used for lifting the drive or any driver/driven equipment. The lifting eye included on this drive is to be usedto vertically lift the drive only and no other associated attachmentsor motors.
SHIELD ALL ROTATING PARTS
For safety, purchaser or user should provide protective shields over all shaft extensions and any moving apparatus mounted on the unit. The user is responsible for checkingall applicable safety codes in his area and providing suitable guards.Failure to do so may result in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
A unit cannot be used as an integral part of amachine super-structure which would impose additional loads onthe unit other than those imposed by the torque being transmitted,or by any shaft mounted power transmitting device such as sprockets, pulleys, or couplings.
Units ARE NOT to be considered fail safe or selflocking devices and ARE NOT to be used as a brake. If these features are required, a properly sized, independent holding devicemust be utilized.For high momentum loads, if coasting to a stop is undesirable, abraking mechanism should be applied to the reducer output or driven mechanism.Any brakes that are used in conjunction with a unit must be sized orpositioned to not subject the unit to loads beyond the capacitiespublished in the current catalog.
For safe operation and to continue the unit warranty,when installing, reinstalling, or replacing a factory installed fastener for servicing purpose, or to accommodate the mounting ofguards, shields or other light load imposing devices, or for mountingthe unit, it becomes the responsibility of the purchaser or user toproperly determine the quality, grade of fastener, thread engagement, load carrying capacity, tightening, torque, and themeans of torque retention.
COUPLINGS
Flexible couplings to input and output shafts are recommended because they minimize excessive bearing and shaft loading caused by misalignment. Follow coupling manufacturer’s installation directions.
TORQUE ARM
The Torque Arm must be installed on shaft mounted reducers toprevent the unit from rotating. Install and position the Torque Arm ata 90º angle to a line drawn through the center of the low speedsleeve and the bolt that attaches the Torque Arm to the Torque Armbrackets on the unit. (Refer to Figure 2). The Torque Arm should bepositioned to be in tension, NOT compression, based on outputrotation of the gear reducer. A rigid Torque Arm can cause bearingsto "load up" and cause premature bearing failure. To prevent this,provide a slight amount of "float" at the torque arm pivot points.
Inspect shafts and components for paint, burrs, orother imperfections before installing components. Do not use excessive force or pounding to install components onto unit shafts,as this may cause damage to shafts, bearings, or gears.
SHAFT MOUNTED REDUCERS
The driven shaft must extend through the full length of the reducersleeve and the shaft should be independently supported with pillowblock bearings located as close to the reducer as possible. The driven shaft must be installed in the sleeve with a bushing at eachend.

Stock bushing sizes are shown in the product catalog table.These sizes will adapt Shaft Mount reducers to the most commonly used driven shaft sizes.
A bushing set includes a taper bushing, two locknuts, one lockwasher, and a drive key. See figure 1.
Figure 1 - Bushing Parts Breakdown
MOUNTING POSITION
After the motor and torque arm positions have been determined, the Shaft Mount Drive should be in one of the sixpositions A, B, C, D, E, or F. See the recommended mountingpositions for the double reduction reducers in figures 2 and 3and for single reduction reducers in figures 4 and 5.NOTE the change in oil level plug locations for output speedbelow 30 rpm shown in figure 3 for double reduction units andfigure 5 for single reduction units.
Numbered items are as follows:1 - Bushing and Breather2 - Oil Level Plug3 - Magnetic Drain Plug
The exact angle at which the reducer is mounted is not critical. However, if the drive must be mounted ina position which varies more than 10° (0.17 radians) from illustrations A, B, C, or D, consult the factory for the proper oillevel. The preferred positions are indicated by illustrations A andC in figures 2 and 3 for double reduction units and illustrationsA and D for single reduction units.
Figure 4 - Single Reduction Oil Level Above 30 RPM
The allowable 10° (0.17 radians) variation in mounting locationdoes not apply to the mounting positions with the hollow shaftvertical (E and F). For vertical shaft operation with greater angular variation, factory oil level modifications are required.
The location of the breather, oil level plug, and drain plug remainunchanged and should be determined from figures 2 – 4.
If the angle of inclination exceeds 15° (0.26 radians), or there isangular variation in more than one plane refer to the factory foroperation and lubrication instructions.
MOTOR LOCATION
The belt tension for the shaft mount is adjusted with the turnbuckle in the torque arm or by movement of the motor platform on the optional piggyback motor mount.
For units without a piggyback motor mount, the V-belt drive maybe located in any convenient position regardless of the locationof the torque arm. The most common location, however, is
shown in figure 7 [90° (1.57 radians)] to a line between the inputand output shafts. This location permits control of belt tensionwith a minimum adjustment of the torque arm turnbuckle.
Figure 7
TORQUE ARM LOCATION
Since the entire reaction force acts through the torque arm, themounting bracket must be firmly attached to a solid support.
On single and double reduction reducers, the torque armmounting bracket point is provided as shown in figure 8.
Figure 8
The most efficient angle of the torque arm to the housing is at90° (1.57 radians) to a line between the center of the hollowshaft and the torque arm holding bolt. The torque arm candescend up to 30° (0.52 rad) from the horizontal and ascend upto angle A defined in table 1 as illustrated in figure 8.
The length of the torque arm may be reduced by cutting material from the threaded end of the rod.
SHEAVES AND BELTS
In mounting these items, the center of the load should be located no farther out than one shaft diameter away from thebearing cover. Otherwise, excessive overhung loading couldexist resulting in early failures to bearings, shafts and gearing.Refer to Table 2 for applicable minimum sheave diameters.
The driver and driven sheaves should be properly aligned. Astraight edge laid across the face of the sheaves will aid ininstallation. The straight edge should lay evenly across bothsheaves with no gaping. See figure 9.
Figure 9
Belts should not be too tight as this can placeexcessive loading on the connected elements. Refer to V-Beltmanufacturer’s data for proper tension.
Excessive belt tension can greatly reduce V-Belt life and result in serious damage to the motor and reducer.
MINIMUM DIAMETER FOR DRIVEN SHEAVES
IMPORTANT: In selecting the V-Belt drive,make certain that the driven sheave is at least as large asshown in table 2. This is necessary to prevent excessive loadingon the bearings, shafts, and gearing. Use of smaller diametersmay be possible with due consideration for sheave location,motor horsepower, and service factor. Consult the factory forreview of smaller diameters.
When sheaves are furnished with reducers, they are generallymounted at the factory.
If sheaves are to be mounted in the field, extreme care shouldbe used. It is quite easy to damage internal members by heavyblows used in sheave mounting. Select a sheave bore to give atapping or light driving fit. If necessary, the sheave bore shouldbe enlarged to provide this class of fit. If a press fit is required,we suggest the sheave be heated to expand the bore beforeinstallation. Heating above 250° F (121° C) is not recommendeddue to possible damage of the oil seal by heat conductionthrough the shaft.
REDUCER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Do NOT use an anti-seize compound on any of theassembled components.
1. Clean driven shaft to remove any contaminants. Dry thoroughly.
2. Screw on right locknut on the large end of the taper bushing.Turn nut until all threads on nut are engaged on bushing.
3. Slide bushing, lock nut end first, onto driven shaft. Locatebushing as close as possible to the driven shaft bearing support and above keyway in driven shaft. See figure 13.
5. Slide Shaft Mount Reducer over driven shaft and up onto thetaper bushing. DO NOT HAMMER ON THE CASE OR INPUTSHAFT. A lead hammer or a soft punch may be used to tapagainst the end of the HOLLOW SHAFT. Press firmly on hollow shaft of reducer to make sure taper is fully engaged.See figure 14.
Figure 146. Place left lockwasher and left locknut on taper bushing. Turn
left locknut until contact is made between the lockwasher andthe end of the reducer hollow shaft. Tighten left locknut untilall play is removed in the tapered portion of the bushing.
LUBRICATION
THIS REDUCER IS SHIPPED DRY. OIL MUSTBE ADDED BEFORE OPERATION. SEE TABLE 4 FOR LUBRICATION SPECIFICATIONS.
The oil used should be a high quality product, having rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foaming agent, a high viscosity index (preferability above 90) and a low acid content.It should be neutral in reaction, free from girt or abrasives andnon-corrosive to gears or bearings.
IMPORTANT: WHEN A BACKSTOP IS FURNISHED WITH THE REDUCER, DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS OF THE EP TYPE, (EXTREME PRESSURECHARACTERISTICS), OR THOSE CONTAINING SLIPPERYADDITIVES.
LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION
The pour point of the oil should, at minimum, be equal to thelowest ambient starting temperature. For best results, the pourpoint should be 5 to 10 degrees F (2.8 to 5.6 degrees C) belowthe lowest ambient starting temperature.
For reducers operating in ambient temperature conditionsbelow 15° F (-9.4° C) special lubrication is required. Refer to
factory for recommendations, giving expected ambient temperature and operating cycle.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
When ambient temperatures exceed 125° F (51.6° C) speciallubrication, special oil seals, and/or increased cooling of thereducer may be required. Refer to factory for recommendations,giving expected ambient temperature and operating cycle.
HIGH SPEED OPERATION
When input speed exceeds 1800 rpm, special lubrication, andincreased cooling of the reducer may be required. Refer to factory for recommendations, giving expected ambient temperature and operating cycle.
CHANGE CYCLE
The first oil change should be made after two weeks, or 100hours of operation. After this, we recommend changing reduceroil every 2500 hours or six months, whichever occurs first.Consider seasonal temperature changes when changing oil.Operating conditions can vary this guide line. Abnormal temperatures and contamination can seriously affect the lubricant causing early sludging, oxidation, and acid formation.Under these conditions, a sample of the lubricant should besubmitted to the petroleum supplier at periodic intervals. Thiswill establish a change cycle which will provide for renewal ofthe oil before its degradation.
TABLE 4
Where the lubricant contains Lead Naphthenate (an EPadditive) the reducer oil sump temperature should not exceed160° F (70° C).
Always fill the speed reducer to the oil level indicator for proper lubrication.

Verify the rating of the reducer (indicated on thenameplate and certified print) to be sure that servicerating, RPM or speed range, thermal rating, and any overhungor thrust loading are not exceeded in actual operation. If inputspeed exceeds 1800 rpm, refer to factory for operation andlubrication recommendations.
1. Make sure reducer is filled with correct lubricant to the proper level. Refer to the section of this bulletin on lubricationand/or the nameplate affixed to the reducer.
2. Check for free rotation of all elements. In many cases, theinput shaft of the reducer can be turned by hand even with aconnected load.
3. Check all bolts and cap screws to make sure they are tight.
4. Check belts for proper tension and alignment.
After energizing motive power, if any unduenoise occurs, shut off power IMMEDIATELY.
5. Observe temperature rise. This may take up to four hours tostabilize. In some instances the temperature in the oil sumpmay rise as much as 100° F (38° C) above the ambient.Actual operating temperature will vary slightly with the reduc-er size, ratio, type, and operating conditions.
Under no circumstances should the oil bathtemperature exceed 200° F (93° C). If this should occur, consultthe factory. The housing and the shaft next to the high speedseal may show temperature significantly above 200° F (93° C).This will diminish as the seal and shaft sealing area wear in.Application of oil at this area during the break-in period will aidthis process. Bearings can produce localized heating fromcramping, either radial or axially. Check for insufficient end play.Many times the reducer temperature is judged by the touch of ahand and may be considered to be quite hot. The only positivemethod is to use a surface temperature measuring instrumentor by using a thermometer directly in the oil bath.
6. About one month after start-up, check all bolts for tightness.Re-tighten as required. This refers to all components in thedrive train.
Do not operate this unit beyond its service rating as any resulting failure could cause damage to propertyor life and limb.
The system of connected rotating parts must befree from critical speed, torsional or other type of vibration, nomatter how induced. The responsibility for this system analysislies with the purchaser of the speed reducer.
This unit is shipped DRY! Oil must be added priorto operation. Any couplings attached are also DRY! and must belubricated prior to operation. Manufacturer’s recommendationsshould be followed.
The oil used should be a high quality product, having rust andoxidation inhibitors, anti-foaming agent, a high viscosity index(preferably above 90) and a low acid content. It should beneutral in reaction, free from girt or abrasives and non-corrosiveto gears or bearings.
LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION1. The pour point of the oil should not exceed and preferably
should be 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8° to 5.6° C) belowthe lowest ambient starting temperature.
2. When temperatures are below 15 degrees Fahrenheit, (-9.4°C) please refer to the factory for recommendations givingambient temperature expected and operating cycle.
3. On vertical units or special horizontal units equipped withpumps, the viscosity can be critical at Low Temperatures ineffecting proper operation of the pump. The oil viscosity in apump driven lube system should not exceed 15,000 SUS.High viscosity lubricants may cause cavitation.
Prime pump with appropriate lubricant and check for oilflow.
For recommendations, refer to the factory giving full particularsof the lowest ambient temperatures affected and the operationcycle.
CHANGE CYCLE
We recommend changing oil every 2,500 hours or six monthswhichever occurs first. Make certain to be guided by seasonaltemperature variations and change oil accordingly. Operatingconditions can vary this guide line. Abnormal temperatures andcontamination can seriously affect the lubricant causing earlysludging, oxidation and acid formation. Under these conditions,a sample of the lubricant should be submitted to the petroleumsupplier at periodic intervals. This will enable the establishmentof a change cycle which would provide for renewal of the oil priorto its degradation. After the initial fill, the first oil change shouldbe made after two weeks, or 100 hours of operation.
FOOD AND DRUG INDUSTRY
Some operations in the Food and Drug Industry require speciallubrication considerations in view of possible toxicity fromcontamination by the oil or grease used in the equipment. SomeEP products contain Lead Naphthenate, Phosphorus, orChlorine which are toxic and could be harmful.
In the Food (including animal food) and DrugIndustry, consult the petroleum supplier for recommendations of
lubricants which are acceptable to the Food and DrugAdministration and/or other authoritative bodies havingjurisdiction.
COUPLINGS
Each coupling shipped with a reducer is tagged with a list of theproper lubricants and an outline of the correct lubricationpractice to follow. They should be relubricated at regularintervals and not allowed to go dry.
BREATHER
Each unit is equipped with a breather. This should be cleaned atintervals to insure that it is working.
GREASE PURGED SEALS
Lubricate once a week with a high quality Lithium base greaseNLGI No. 2 consistency.
GREASE LUBRICATION - VERTICAL REDUCER
Grease lubricate the lower output shaft bearings once a week atthe Alemite grease fitting. A good grade of antifriction bearinggrease or its equivalent should be used. It should have neutraland channeling characteristics with a consistency of NLGI #2. Itshould not be subject to excessive bleeding or deterioration.
The above capacities are for 1750 RPM. For lower input speeds refer to the factory.
