The drives supplied by us are not pre-filled with oil. You need to fill up the correct grade of oil or grease (depending upon Model) before commissioning. Models 1019, 2019 & 3019 are grease lubricated & are pre-filled with grease before despatch. You need not fill up grease in these units. All other drives are oil-lubricated and oil must be filled in these units before commissioning. All the drives have oil filling / breather plug, oil level plug and oil drain plug. The drain plug is supplied with a rubber or a copper washer. The oil should be filled from the oil-filling plug till it fills upto the oil level plug, indicating oil level. In case of drives mounted with output shaft vertically downward or upward, an elbow with a separate oil cup is provided in place of breather plug and the breather plug is positioned at top of the oil cup. Oil should be filled in from this plug till it shows in the oil level plug.

Before commissioning the drive, check that sprockets or pulleys etc. are aligned properly and that the tension in belts or chains is not excessive. Please also check that the drain and level plugs are tightened properly, otherwise the oil may start leaking form these points. Do not start the drive directly on full load during the first commissioning. Initially, let the drive run freely on no load & then gradually increase the load upto the recommended level.
