OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

3. FOR NORD HELICAL – WORM GEAR AND MOTOR REDUCER

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Check the motor nameplate to verify the phase, hertz and
voltage agrees with the available power supply. Connection
should conform to local codes. A connection diagram for
the motor is located inside the conduit box and on the
motor nameplate. The motor starter has overload
protector.

START-UP

All units are lubricated before shipment. The lubricant level should be
checked with the unit mounted in its correct operating position. Lubricant
should be added or removed to bring it to the correct level.

MAINTENANCE

A. MOTOR

During maintenance, inspect the fan guard and remove any accumulated debris from under or around the
gear reducer. Motor bearings are greased and sealed for life. Motor requires no periodic maintenance.

B. GEAR REDUCER

All units are filled from factory with ISO VG680as. This is a Polyglycol (PG) type synthetic lubricant. Units
should be checked periodically for increase noise, surface temperature, vibration, shaft movement, and
amperage draw. Gear reducer should have the lubricant changed every 20,000 hours or four years,
whichever occurs first. For adverse operating conditions the interval should be shorter. DO NOT MIX
SYNTHETIC & MINERAL BASE OILS. After the unit is drained of the used lubricant, it should be filled
with approximately 1.48 Qts. of a compatible lubricant to the above specification. Once the unit is filled,
the lubricant level should be verified at the Oil Level Plug.

Please note the chart below for oil compatibility:

The listing below offers suggestions on the
manufacturers of recommended lubricants. Use
synthetic oil (Polyglycol-Base) between 14 – 175°
with an ISO Viscosity Class of ISO VG 680.

4. FOR DORRIS MIXER TRANSMISSION

DORRIS MIXER TRANSMISSION: Oil in the mixer
transmission should be changed after the first four (4)
weeks of operation. This is to remove the "run-in" oil
and also any small metal shavings that may have been
generated during the initial mating of the gears. After
the first oil change, subsequent changes should be
performed every six (6) months. After draining the oil,
refill the unit to the "level" plug (1 qt.) at the center of
the transmission with a petroleum based rust and
oxidation (R&O) inhibited gear oil. Viscosity Range for
15-75 degrees F (-9 – 24 degrees C) is AGMA Lube No.
3 or ISO Grade 100.

TO CHANGE OIL:

a. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and

perform lockout/tagout procedures.

b. Remove rear drive cover.

c. Remove breather plug from top of transmission and

oil level plug from side of transmission

d. With a container in place to catch old oil, remove the

magnetic drain plug from the bottom of the
transmission.

e. When all oil has drained, clean the drain plug and

replace into the transmission.

f. Refill transmission with approx. one (1) quart of the

recommended gear oils or equivalent. Or until oil
appears at bottom of oil level sight hole.

g. Replace breather and oil level plugs.

h. Carefully turn mixer transmission pulley by hand to

lubricate internal gears.

i. Reinstall rear drive cover.

D. MIXER DRIVE BELT TENSION

1. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.

2. Remove rear drive cover.

3. Loosen the four bolts holding the 1HP motor to its mounting plate.

4. Slide 1HP motor away from mixer transmission.

5. When approximately

1

2

" total belt flex has been attained, retighten motor bolts.

6. Reinstall rear drive cover.

E. MAIN DRIVE CHAIN AND SPROCKET LUBRICATION:

The main drive chain has been pre-lubricated at the factory to protect it against dirt and moisture. Chain life
will vary appreciably depending upon its lubrication. The better the lubrication, the longer the chain life.

Lubrication effectiveness will vary with the amount of lubricant and frequency of application. Ideally, a
lubricant film should always be present between the working parts. Manually lubricate the chain as often as
is needed (possibly once a week). NEVER exceed three months without lubricating.

Lubricating just the outside of the chain does little good. Apply lubrication on the inside of the chain span so
that it will work through the moving parts and joints by centrifugal force as the chain rotates and reach the
area where one surface “scrubs” another.

10

MAIN DRIVE CHAIN AND SPROCKETS LUBRICATION (continued):

Recommended types of chain lubricant are those with Molybdenum Disulphide or Graphite added. Also
bonded lubricants such as Dow Corning Molykote 321R or equivalent are excellent for open chains. The
lubricant should be of a viscosity whereby it will “flow” somewhat and penetrate the internal working surfaces.
Thick stiff greases are of little value because they cannot work into moving parts of the chain.

a. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.

b. Remove rear drive cover.

c. Spray or brush lubricant on inside of chain, slowly and carefully turning large sprocket by hand.

d. Reinstall rear drive cover.

F. MAIN DRIVE CHAIN TENSION (See Diagram Below)

1. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.

2. Remove rear drive cover.

3. Remove right and left side skirts.

4. Loosen the four bolts that hold the motor to the frame of the machine.

5. Loosen the lock nuts on the motor adjusting stud.

6. To Loosen Chain Tension. Turn motor adjusting studs counterclockwise. Grasp motor and pull toward

adjusting stud. Be sure to turn both adjusting studs the same amount and evenly. Total chain flex should be

1

8

"to

3

8

". Be sure to keep motor shaft parallel with auger drive shaft.

To Tighten Chain Tension. Turn motor adjusting studs clockwise. Be sure to turn both adjusting studs the
same amount and evenly. Total chain flex should be

1

8

"to

3

8

". Do not overtighten chain as this will put

excessive and damaging pressure on the motor bearings. Be sure to keep motor shaft parallel with auger
drive shaft.

7. Retighten motor mounting bolts.

8. Retighten motor adjusting stud lock nuts.

9. Reinstall the right and left side skirts.

10. Reinstall the rear drive cover.

G. CHAIN REPLACEMENT

1. Part No. H384-CL Service Replacement Chain is provided with a
"Connecting Link" (Part No. H384-LINK) so that is can be separated to
facilitate installation over the sprockets

Upon assembly, be sure the connecting link is installed so the spring
clip is orientated with its opening facing "opposite" the direction of the
chain travel (See Diagram). â
