IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY
INSTALLATION LEAFLETS
Satisfactory performance depends on proper installation, lubrication
and maintenance. All instructions given in the installation leaflet must
be followed carefully.
LUBRICATION
Sizes 890 to 893 will be supplied with a quantity of EP mineral oil
(Shell Omala 320) for mounting position B3. Other mounting must
be specified on order. However if , as requested, the unit is sup-
plied without lubricant then the oil quantity is obtained from Tables
1 & 2. Sizes 894 to 898 are supplied without oil. Before running
they should be filled with an appropriate amount of the correct
lubricant shown in the tables 1 & 2, dependent on the mounting
position, see below.
WARNING Do not overfill as excess lubricant may cause over-
heating and leakage.

OIL CHANGES
Sizes 890, 891 and 892 are lubricated for life except when
the units are required to work in an explosive atmosphere
(94/9/EC Atex 100a Group II category 2 zones 1 & 21 & category
3 zones 2 & 22) See separate leaflet for recommendations.
All other sizes will require an oil change depending on the unit
operating temperature. Initial fill of oil should be changed in a new
gear unit after 1000 hours operation or one year or half the life in
the table opposite whichever is the soonest.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Check oil level every 3000 hours or 6 months whichever is sooner
on sizes 893 to 898 and if necessary top up with the recommend-
ed grade of lubricant.
