Installation - General Instructions
 
 


What are the appropriate operating temperatures for a 700 Series wormgear speed reducer?
• Initial operating temperatures may be higher than normal during the break in period of the gear set.
• Check for overloads or high ambient temperatures in the event of overheating
• Keep shafts and vent plugs clean to prevent foreign particles from entering seals or gear housings
• Do not allow speed reducer to operate continuously above 225° at the gear case.
 
 
 
 

 
All rotating shafts and auxiliary components must be shielded to conform with applicable safety standards.

• Provisions must be made for external braking when using a speed reducer to raise or lower a load.
• Mounting of speed reducers in the overhead position may be hazardous. Use of external guides or supports is recommended.

Under no condition should a speed reducer be considered self-locking!
