9.
Install sheave on input shaft as close to reducer as possible.
10. Install motor and V-belt drive so belt pull will be roughly at
right angles to the center line between driven and input shaft
(Figure 2.) This will permit tightening V-belt drive with the
torque-arm.
11. Install torque-arm adaptor plates on the input end of the
reducer.
12. Install torque-arm fulcrum on a rigid support so that the
torque-arm will be approximately at right angles to the
center line through the driven shaft and the torque-arm
anchor screw (Figure 2). Make sure that there is sufficient
take-up in the turnbuckle for belt tension adjustment when
using V-belt drives.
13. Retighten bolts and pipe plugs after a few days' operation.
This prevents oil leakage.

NOTES:
① Oil quantity is approximate. Service with lubricant until oil runs out of oil level hole.
② Refer to Figure 1 for mounting positions.
③ US measure: 1 quart = 32 fluid ounces = .94646 liters.
④ Below 20 RPM output speed, oil level must be adjusted to reach the highest oil level plug (P). If reducer position is to vary from those shown in Figure 1, either more or less oil
may be required. Consult Baldor Electric Company, Dodge Product Support, Greenville, South Carolina.

NOTE: Because reducer is shipped without oil, it is necessary
to add the proper amount of oil before running.
Use a high-grade petroleum-base, rust and oxidation inhibited
(R&O) gear oil (Tables 1 and 2). Follow instructions on reducer
nameplate, warning tags and in the installation manual.
Under average industrial operating conditions, the lubricant
should be changed every 2500 hours of operation or every 6
months, whichever occurs first. Drain reducer and flush with
kerosene, clean magnetic drain plug and refill to proper level with
new lubricant.
CAUTION: Extreme pressure (EP) lubricants are not
recommended for average operating conditions. Failure to
observe these precautions could result in bodily injury.
CAUTION: Too much oil will cause overheating and too little
will result in gear failure. Check oil level regularly. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury. Under
extreme operating conditions, such as rapid rise and fall
of temperature, dust, dirt, chemical particles, chemical
fumes, or oil sump temperatures above 200°F, the oil should
be changed every 1 to 3 months depending on severity of
conditions.
CAUTION: Do not use EP oils or oils containing slippery
additives such as graphite or molybdenum disulphide in the
reducer when backstop is used. These additives will destroy
sprag action.
