●Do not approach or touch any rotating parts (output shaft, etc.) during run-time maintenance or
inspection of the unit; otherwise loose clothing may become caught in these rotating parts and cause
serious injury or death.
●
When shutdown inspection is conducted to check the tooth surface, make sure to stop the motor and
driven unit; otherwise, loose clothing may become caught in the gear meshing part and cause serious
injury or death.
●Do not operate the unit without a safety cover (removed during inspection) in place to shield rotating
parts; otherwise loose clothing may become caught in these rotating parts and cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
●Do not put ngers or foreign objects into the opening of the reducer; otherwise, electric shock, personal
injury, re, or damage to the equipment may result.

during operation. Do not operate until abnormality is corrected.
●Change lubricant according to the maintenance manual. Be sure to use factory recommended lubricant:
otherwise damage to the equipment may result.
●Do not change lubricant during operation or immediately after stopping operation; otherwise, burns
may occur.
●Do not operate damaged reducer; otherwise, personal injury, re, or damage to the equipment may
result.
●We cannot assume any responsibility for damage or personal injury resulting from an unauthorized

7-1 Daily Inspection
To ensure proper and continued optimum operation, use Table 7-1 to perform daily inspection.
Table 7-1 Daily inspection
Inspection items Inspection details
Noise Is there abnormal sound coming from the reducer? Is there sudden change
in sound?
Vibration Is there excessive vibration ? Does vibration change suddenly?
Surface temperature
Is the surface temperature abnormally high (higher than 80℃)? Does the
surface temperature rise suddenly? (The temperature rise during operation
diers according to the models. It is no problem even if surface tempera-
ture is around 70 ℃, as long as it is steady.)
Oil level Does the oil level reach the top line of the oil gauge? (Check it with a dip-
stick or oil gauge while the machine is shut down.)
Lubrication Forced lubrication
Is the function of oil signal or ow gauge normal?
If functioning abnormally, which means lubrication failure due to inad-
equate oil, broken pump or clogging pipe, stop the unit and inspect.
Oil or grease leakage Does oil or grease leak thru oil seal?
Foundation bolt Are foundation bolts loose?
Chain, V belt Are chain and V-belt loose?
When any problem is found during daily inspection, take corrective measures listed in section 8. Troubleshooting.
