Lubrication
All GROVE GEAR Helical Bevel gearmotors and gear
reducers are supplied with the correct quantity of
lubricating oil for the mounting position specified at time
of order.
Before Installation
Review the approved mounting positions
and lubrication levels identified on page 4 of these
instructions. Do not deviate from the mounting positions or
lubrication levels shown without contacting the factory.
For transportation, the units are supplied as sealed
gearcases, i.e., in place of the breather plug, a socket head
plug is installed. The breather plug accompanies the unit in
the lubrication instructions and hardware envelope.
