REDUCER INSTALLATION
1. On sizes HXT3B, HXT4B, and HXT5C, replace the plastic
plug that protects the threaded hole in the reducer housing
with the eyebolt supplied with the reducer.
2. Determine the running position of the reducer (see Fig.
1). Note that the reducer is supplied with either 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. Install vent
plug in topmost hole. Of the 2 remaining plugs on the sides
of the reducer, the lowest one is the minimum oil level plug.

Figure 1 - Mounting Positions
The running position of the reducer in a horizontal
application is not limited to the four positions shown in
Figure 1. However, if running position is over 20º either way
from sketches, the oil level plug cannot be safely used to
check the oil level, unless during the checking the torque
arm is disconnected and the reducer is swung to within
20º in positions "B" and "D" or 5º in positions "A" and "C"
of the positions shown in Figure 1. Because of the many
possible positions of the reducer, it may be necessary or
desirable to make special adaptations using the lubrication
fitting holes furnished along with other standard pipe
fittings, stand pipes and oil level gages as required.
