TO AVOID THE RISK OF HAVING HIGH PRESURE IN THE REDUCER (GEAR BOX) AN OIL BREATHER
SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE GEAR REDUCER. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE BREATHER MAY LEAD
TO OIL LEAKAGE FROM THE SEAL AND DAMAGE THE REDUCER.
All Gear Head operators are supplied with a Reducer Breather. However, the breather is not mounted at the factory
to avoid leakage during handling of the reducer. All reducers are built with an air-vent hole to receive the Reducer
Breather. To prevent oil leakage during shipping and installation, a metal bolt is placed on the air-vent hole.
