INSPECTION OF UNIT

Thoroughly inspect the equipment for any shipping and handling damage before accepting shipment from the freight company. If any of the
goods called for in the bill of lading or express receipt are damaged or the quantity is short, do not accept until the freight or express agent
makes an appropriate notation on your freight bill or express receipt. If any concealed loss or damage is discovered later, notify your freight
carrier or express agent at once and request him to make an inspection. We will be very happy to assist you in collecting claims for loss or
damage during shipment; however, this willingness on our part does not remove the transportation company’s responsibility in reimbursing
you for collection of claims or replacement of material. Claims for loss or damage in shipment must not be deducted from the NORD Gear
invoice, nor should payment of the NORD Gear invoice be withheld awaiting adjustment of such claims, as the carrier guarantees safe
delivery.

If considerable damage has been incurred and the situation is urgent, contact the nearest NORD Gear Sales Office for assistance. Please
keep a written record of all communications.

TORQUE REACTION ARM

On the shaft mount ‘Clincher’, torque is reacted through the
integral torque tab, which is part of the casting. Commonly,
NORD’s optional RUBBER BUFFER bushings are installed on
each side of the integral torque tab to dampen torque shocks and
allow for mis-alignment received from the machinery during
operation.

Torque arm connection fabrications should always be mounted

perpendicular to a line through the output shaft center and the
point at attachment of the torque arm to the unit housing. In this
position the minimum load on the attachment structure arm will be
experienced. The attachment structure must be rigid and may not
deflect under any load. Doing so will place extra loads on the
output bearings of the reducer.

 MAINTENANCE

Mineral lubricant should be changed every 10,000 service hours or after two years. For synthetic oils, the lube should be changed every
20,000 service hours or after four years. In case of extreme operating (e.g. high humidity, aggressive environment or large temperature
variations), shorter intervals between changes are recommended.

OIL SPECIFICATIONS
NORD supplies aII reducers fiIIed with oiI from the factory. Consult the sticker adjacent to the fill plug to determine the type of lubricant
installed at the factory. Standard lubricant is ISO VG220 mineral-based oil. However, some units have special lubricants designed to operate
in certain environments or to extend the service life of the lubricant. If in doubt about which lubricant is needed, contact NORD Gear.
