18HE to 60HE.

Lubrication

All Grove Gear E Series Reducers are splash lubricated. The
unique design of the reducers permits nearly universal mounting by
placing a fill, drain and oil level plug at the proper location for mount­ing positions. See mounting figures on this page.

Review the approved mounting positions and lubrication levels
identified in the Mounting Position Figures in Figure 1. Do not
deviate from the mounting positions or lubrication levels shown
without contacting Factory.

After selecting the position that the unit will be mounted but before
operating: Remove Fill Plug, clean threads on the removed plug and
the plug hole with degreaser. Install Breather Plug securely in gear
case. Note — Plug with breather must always be installed on top most
plug hole of gear case, opposite Drain Plug.

Variations From Normal Conditions

Input speeds higher than 1800 RPM may require an adjustment in oil
level. For vertical output, factory modifications (grease pack and nilos
ring) are required. For input speeds up to 1150 RPM, the high oil level
can be used, without factory modifications. This level, as specified in
the oil capacity chart will be at the center of the top bearing. It can
be checked with a dipstick to obtain the level specified in the chart
from the top housing face.
