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
device must be an integral part of the driven equipment beyond the

WARNING: All products over 25 kg (55 lbs) are noted on the shipping
package. Proper lifting practices are required for these products.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: This reducer is compatible with the Dodge
which can be installed in the adapter plug labelled "smart sensor."
The plug and sensor can be moved to different locations as required
by mounting position.
1. Use eyebolt to lift reducer.
2. Determine the running position of the reducer (see
Figure 1). Note that the reducer is supplied with either 4
or 7 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.
Throwaway the tape that covers the filler/ventilation lug
in shipment and install plug in topmost hole. Of the 3
remaining plugs on the sides of the reducer, the lowest
one is the minimum oil level plug.
Vertical Installations: Install the filler/ventilation plug in
the hole provided in the top face of the reducer housing.
Use the hole in the bottom face for the magnetic drain
plug. Of the 5 remaining holes on the sides of the
reducer, use a plug in the upper housing half for the
minimum oil level plug.
3. 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 20° either
way from position "B" or "D" in Figure 1 sketches, or
5° either way from position "A" or "C", 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 20°/5° 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.
