Bushing Removal for Standard Taper or Short Shaft
Bushings:
1. Remove bushing screws.
2. Place the screws in the threaded holes provided in the
bushing flanges. Tighten the screws alternately and evenly until
the bushings are free on the shaft. For ease of tightening
screws make sure screw threads and threaded holes in the
bushing flanges are clean. If the reducer was positioned closer
than the recommended minimum distance “A” as shown in
Table 1, loosen the inboard bushing screws until they are clear
of the bushing flange by 1/8”. Locate two (2) wedges at 180
degrees between the bushing flange and the bushing backup
plate. Drive the wedges alternately and evenly until the bushing
is free on the shaft.
3. Remove the outside bushing, the reducer, and then the
inboard bushing.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Because reducer is shipped without oil, it is
necessary to add the proper amount of oil before operating
reducer. Use a high-grade petroleum base rust and oxidation
inhibited (R&O) gear oil - see tables. Follow instructions on
reducer warning tags, and in the installation manual.
Under average industrial operating conditions, the lubricant
should be changed every 2500 hours of operation or every 6
months, whichever occurs first. Drain reducer and flush with
kerosene, clean magnetic drain plug and refill to proper level
with new lubricant.
CAUTION: Too much oil will cause overheating and too little
will result in gear failure. Check oil level regularly. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Under extreme operating conditions, such as rapid rise and fall
of temperature, dust, dirt, chemical particles, chemical fumes, or
oil sump temperatures above 200°F, the oil should be changed
every 1 to 3 months, depending on severity of conditions.

Oil quantity is approximate. Service with lubricant until oil runs out of oil level hole.
† Refer to Figure 1 for mounting positions.
▲ US measure: 1 quart = 32 fluid ounces = .94646 liters.
Below 15 RPM output speed, oil level must be adjusted to reach the highest oil level plug. If reducer position is to vary from those shown in Figure 1, either more or less
oil may be required. Consult Dodge.
