INSTALLATION
1. Use lifting bracket where applicable to lift reducer.
2. Determine the running positions of the reducer (see Figure 1).
Note that the reducer is supplied with six plugs; four around
the sides for horizontal installations and one 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 the filter/ventilation plug in
topmost hole. Of the two remaining plugs on the sides of
the reducer, the lowest plug is the minimum oil level plug.
Vertical installations
Install the filter/ventilation plug in the hole provided in the
upper face of the reducer housing. If space is restricted
on the upper face, install the vent in the highest hole on
the side of the reducer per Figure 1 using the optional
vertical vent kit. Install a plug in the hole in the bottom
face of the reducer. Do not use this hole for the magnetic
drain plug. Install the magnetic drain plug in the lowest
hole on the sides of the reducer. Of the remaining holes
on the sides of the reducer, use the plug in the upper
housing half for the minimum oil level plug.
NOTE: This reducer is compatible with Dodge sensors,
that can be installed in the adapter plug. The plug and
sensor can be moved to different locations as required by
mounting position.
