WARNING: Torque-Arm II products exceeding 13.5kg (30 lbs) should
be lifted using lift-assist equipment rated for the weight of the product.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: This reducer is compatible with the Dodge
Sensor that can be installed in the adapter plug labeled
"smart sensor." The plug and sensor can be moved to
different locations as required by mounting position.
1. Use lifting bracket to lift reducer.
2. Determine the running positions of the reducer (see Figure 1).
Note that the reducer is supplied with 6 plugs; 4 around the
sides for horizontal installations and 1 on each face for vertical
installations. These plugs must be arranged relative to the
running positions as follows:
Horizontal Installations–Install the magnetic drain plug in
the hole closest to the bottom of the reducer. Throw away the
tape that covers the filter/ventilation plug in shipment and
install plug in topmost hole. Of the 2 remaining plugs on the
sides of the reducer, the lowest one is the minimum oil level
plug.
WARNING: Because of the possible danger to person(s) or property
from accidents which may result from the improper use of products,
it is important that correct procedures be followed. Products must be
used in accordance with the engineering information specified in the
catalog. Proper installation, maintenance and operation procedures
must be observed. The instructions in the instruction manuals must
be followed. Inspections should be made as necessary to assure
safe operation under prevailing conditions. Proper guards and other
suitable safety devices or procedures as may be desirable or as may
be specified in safety codes should be provided, and are neither
provided by Dodge nor are the responsibility of Dodge. This unit and
its associated equipment must be installed, adjusted and maintained
by qualified personnel who are familiar with the construction and
operation of all equipment in the system and the potential hazards
involved. When risk to persons or property may be involved, a holding
