Browning OtN Series 2000 User Manual

Before operating the reducer or gearmotor, the following must be done:

•

Install the drive on a rigid and vibration-free surface.

 

 

•

Remove the protective coating on the shaft and flange. Use solvent if necessary.

•

Carefully install coupling, sheaves, sprockets, or pinions on shaft. Mount as close to the shaft shoulder as
possible.

•

It is preferable to use heat instead of force.

•

Check shaft alignment when using direct coupling.

•

Check shaft parallelism when using belt or chain drive.

CAUTION: Refer to belt manufacturer's recommendation for belt tension.
(Tension should not be applied on chain drives.)

•

Check oil level in oil lubricated reducer.

•

Install breather plug in the plug hole per recommendations shown on page (3).

To ensure safe operation and to avoid problems, it is recommended the reducer or gearmotor be inspected 

hours of operating time. 

•

Check mounting bolts and belt tension (if applicable).

The preventative maintenance list below should be performed 

every 5000 hours of operating time:

•

Check oil level and add oil if necessary.

•

Make sure the vent hole in the breather is clean.

•

Reducer breathers not supplied with cross-pin do not get modified but must be properly positioned at the top
of the reducer.

•

For motor/coupling mounting of reducers with one piece splined couplings, refer to instructions included on
page 6 of this manual.
