These instructions must be read thoroughly
before installing or operating speed reducers.
File instructions for future reference.
•Forsafeoperationofanygeardrive,all
rotating shafts and auxiliary components
must be shielded to conform with applicable
safetystandards.Youmustconsideroverall
operational system safety at all times.
•Whenusingaspeedreducertoraiseorlower
aload,suchasinhoistingapplications,
provisionmustbemadeforexternalbraking.
Under no conditions should a speed reducer
beconsideredself-locking.
•Mountingofspeedreducersinoverhead
positions may be hazardous.Use of external
guides or supports is strongly recommended
foroverheadmounting.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Align all shafts accurately. Improper alignment
can result in failure. Use of flexible coupling
is recommended to compensate for slight
misalignment.
Auxiliarydrivecomponents(suchassprockets,
gears and pulleys) should be mounted on the
shafts as close as possible to the housing to
minimizeeffectsofoverhungloads.Avoidforcefits
that might damage bearings or gears.

INSTALLATION
BaldorRatioMultipliersarereadyforinstallation
asremovedfromthecarton.Theyincorporate
aninternalexpansionchamber(Bladder),which
eliminates the traditional requirement for a breather.
EachRatioMultiplierhasbeenfilledwithmobil
SHC634Syntheticlubricantatthefactory,theoil
quality is sufficient for any mounting position.
LUBRICATION
Oil changes are not required. Oil should
only be replaced when maintenance is
preformed that requires disassembly. If the
oilisreplaced,useMobilSHC634.
MOUNTING POSITION
Formaximumseallife,theRatioMultiplier
should be mounted with the input shaft as
high as possible. Mounting the Ratio
Multiplier with the input seal vertically
down is not recommended. Ifavertically
downinputshaftpositionisrequired,
consult the factory.
ApacketofFel-ProC5-AAnti-SeizeLubricantis

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
BaldorRatioMultipliersaredesignedto
operate in ambient temperatures of -10°F
to 100°F. The oil sump temperatures
oftheRatioMultipliermustnotexceed
200°F Consult the factory for applications
requiring ambient operating temperature
outside this range.
Satisfactory performance may be obtained with
non-synthetic oils and will require more frequent
changes.
