1. Electra Gear to maintain the warranty 1 Frequently check the oil level of the reducer If oil level is low refer to reducer vent and level position chart add proper lubrication through the filler plug until it comes out the oil level plug 2 Inspect vent plug often to insure it is clean and operating 3 Always check for proper oil level after filling Do not overfill or underfill with oil or injury to personnel reducer or other equipment may result 4 Do not mix different oils in the reducer Seals The Grove Gear Electra Gear line of speed reducers utilizes premium quality seals which are the state of the art in sealing technology Seals are however a wear item and eventually need to be replaced Replacement can be easily accomplished by following the steps below 1 Remove the worn seal without damaging the shaft surface or the seal bore This can be done by drilling a 062 diameter hole in the seal casing being careful not to drill into the bearing behind the seal Install a 10 sheet metal screw into the hole and pry out the seal 2 Clean the seal bore of sealant 3 Before installing the new seal use electrical tape to cover any keyways on the shaft to prevent seal lip damage 4 Grease the seal lips with bearing grease and apply a sealant to the seal bore 5 Slide the seal into the shaft being careful not to fold the inner lip over on any shaft steps 6 Press the seal into its bore with a sleeve that presses on2. in whatever form Resellers Buyers will include the following language in a conspicuous place and in a conspicuous manner in a written agreement covering such sale The manufacturer makes no warranties or representations express or implied by operation of law or otherwise as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the goods sold hereunder Buyer acknowledges that it alone has deter mined that the goods purchased hereunder will suitably meet the requirements of their intended use In no event will the manufacturer be liable for consequential incidental or other damages Even if the repair or replacement remedy shall be deemed to have failed of its essential purpose under Section 2 719 of the Uniform Commercial Code the manufacturer shall have no liability to Buyer for consequential damages Resellers Buyers agree to also include this entire document including the warnings above in a con spicuous place and in a conspicuous manner in writing to instruct users on the safe usage of the product This instructions manual should be read together with all other printed information suchas catalogs supplied by Grove Gear Electra Gear General Operation 1 Run the motor which drives the reducer and check the direction of reducer output rotation Consult motor nameplate for instructions to reverse the direction of rotation 2 Attaching the load On direct coupled installations check shaft and coupling alignment between spe
