CAUTION
(Overall)
●
Do not use the reducer outside of the specifications listed on the nameplate or the specifications in the manufacturing specification
document. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury and damage to equipment.
●
Do not insert fingers or objects into the openings on the reducer. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock, injury, and damage to
equipment.
●
Do not use the reducer when damaged. There is a risk of injury and fire.
●
Do not remove the nameplate.
●
Alterations to the reducer by the customer are not covered by the warranty and Tsubakimoto Chain Co. assumes no responsibility for
them.
(Upon receipt of your reducer)
●
Check the orientation of the packaging and open it. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
●
Make sure the model number of the unit delivered matches your order. If the wrong reducer is installed, there is a risk of injury and
damage to equipment.
(Transport)
●
Use caution when transporting the reducer as it is dangerous if it drops or falls over. If the reducer has lifting rings, always use those lifting
rings. However, after the reducer is installed in the machinery, do not hoist the machinery itself with the lifting rings. Otherwise, there is a
risk of damaging the lifting rings, injury from the reducer falling over, and damage to equipment. Before hoisting the reducer, check the
weight on the nameplate, packaging, external diagram (specification diagram, final drawings), or catalog, and do not suspend a reducer
that exceeds the weight rating of the lifting rings. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the bolts, injury from the reducer falling over, and
damage to equipment.
(Installation)
●
Do not place obstructions around the reducer that will interfere with ventilation. This will hinder cooling and may result in burns or a fire
due to abnormal overheating.
●
Do not get on the reducer or hang from it under any circumstances. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
●
Do not touch the shaft ends or the bore section keyways on the reducer with bare hands. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
●
For equipment that is averse to greasiness such as food machinery, take precautions for an accidental oil leak due to breakdown or
service life and install damage prevention equipment such as an oil pan. Otherwise, there is a risk the reducer may become faulty due to
an oil leak.
(Connection)
●
When connecting the reducer to a motor and the driven machine, pay careful attention to centering, belt tension, and the parallelism of
the pulleys. When directly connected, pay careful attention to the accuracy of the direct connection. When belt driven, correctly adjust the
belt tension. Before operation, ensure that the tie bolts for the pulleys and couplings have been fully tightened. Otherwise, there is a risk of
injury due to flying debris and damage to equipment.
●
Install a cover so that rotating components will not be touched. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
●
When the reducer will rotate independently, remove the key that is temporarily installed to the output shaft. Otherwise, there is a risk of
injury.
●
Check the direction of rotation before connecting the reducer to the driven machine. There is a risk of injury and damage to equipment by
mistaking the direction of rotation.
(Operation)
●
Do not insert your hand in the fan cover. Otherwise, there is a risk of being caught in those parts resulting in injury.
●
During operation, the reducer reaches high temperatures. Use caution not to touch the reducer with your hands or body. Otherwise,
there is a risk of burns.
●
When a problem occurs, immediately stop operation. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock, injury, and fire.
●
Do not use the reducer with a load that exceeds the rated load. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury and damage to equipment.
●
Do not loosen the oil plugs during operation. Otherwise, lubrication oil may spray out resulting in burns.
●
When running the reducer in reverse, first stop it, and then run it in reverse. Forward and reverse operation by plucking may damage the
reducer and the driven machine.
(Disassembly/assembly)
●
Repair, disassembly, and assembly should always be performed by a specialist. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock, injury, and
fire.
(Daily inspection and maintenance)
●
Change the lubrication oil and grease according to the instruction manual. Always use the type of oil recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to equipment.
●
The surface of the reducer reaches high temperatures, so do not touch it bare hands. Otherwise, there is a risk of burns.
●
Do not change the lubrication oil during operation or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, there is a risk of burns.
●
Diagnose problems that occur based on the instruction manual. Do not operate the reducer until the cause of the problem has been
determined and action has been taken.
(Disposal)
The reducer and its lubrication oil should be treated as general industrial waste.
