INTRODUCTION

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

This Service Manual provides information and

instructions for the installation, operation, and
maintenance of ProQuip Y-Series and Z-Series Top
Entering Agitators. To obtain optimum performance
and trouble free service from this equipment, follow all
instructions carefully. If the unit is furnished with shaft
seals, lubricator or other optional accessories, refer to
the supplementary instructions included with this
manual.
The drive unit size referred to in this manual can be
obtained from the unit Model Number. The first letter
in the Model Number refers to the reducer series, a Y or
a Z, and the second letter refers to the size in that series.
For example, a ProQuip Model 15YHX30 uses a size
YH drive unit and a Model 5ZFS25 uses a size ZF drive
unit. See Figure 1 for typical units.
Your unit is shipped with temporary protection against
dust and weather during transportation. If it is not to be
installed immediately, the unit should be prepared and
stored in accordance with the Storage Instructions.
Ultimate credit for long service and dependable
operation of the agitator belongs to the mechanics and
maintenance personnel on the job who carefully install
the unit, make the mounting rigid and level, accurately
align shafts and couplings, and ensure that the unit
receives proper lubrication and regular maintenance.
The details of these important jobs are the subject of
this manual.
Before proceding, read all WARNING and CAUTION
notes. Read all specific instructions before any attempt
is made to install or assemble the agitator and any
auxiliary or optional equipment.

CAUTION: Heed all warning tags.

Agitators are normally shipped knocked-down into the
following assemblies:
Power package
Shaft
Impellers
Read the following general instructions and all other
pertinent specific instructions before any attempt is
made to install or assemble the agitator to avoid
unnecessary damage or problems.
Check equipment against packing list to ensure that
all required parts have been received.
Obtain proper mounting bolts and flange gasket, if
required. Refer to the Certified Outline and
Dimension Drawing included with this manual for
proper sizes.
Clean all mating surfaces such as intank coupling
faces, turbine bores, shaft, drive quill, etc.
Install power package on tank as described in the
Power Package Installation Section. Note that if
the shaft is longer than the tank is deep the shaft is
installed before the power package.
Install shaft. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not allow
shaft to bend during installation, as this may cause
vibration problems during operation. Lift or move
shaft in a vertical position whenever possible.
Support long shafts at several points, or on a pallet
when moved or stored in a horizontal position. On
units with shaft seals, protect shaft from scratches or
nicks in the seal area. Ensure that shaft coupling

registers are properly engaged and coupling faces
are pulled tightly together.
Mount impeller(s) on shaft. Install steady bearing,
stabilizer ring, or other accessory equipment if used.
Make certain all bolts, set screws and keys are
properly installed, tightened and torqued. Rotate
agitator by hand to check that nothing binds and that
shaft does not run out excessively, more than 1/8
inch per 10 feet of shaft length [3.1 mm per 3m of
shaft length].
On units with shaft seals, install and lubricate as
shown in this manual.
Wire the motor in accordance with motor
instructions and all applicable Codes. Check that
output shaft direction of rotation is correct
Ensure that agitator is lubricated in accordance with
the Lubrication Instructions and Preventive
Maintenance Sections.

POWER PACKAGE
INSTALLATION
The agitator power package is normally shipped as a
complete assembly including the motor, flexible motor
coupling or belts and sheaves, gear drive unit, coupling
guards and low speed coupling half; all assembled on a
base, ready for mounting on the tank. Mixers with
integral shaft seals include part or all of the seal
assembly with the power package assembly. All bolts
should be tested for tightness and the motor alignment
checked to ensure that they have not been disturbed
during shipment or handling. The power package may
then be mounted on the support structure or mounting
flange.
Note that the gear drive unit has been shipped without
oil, but has been sluiced with an oil-soluble rust
inhibitor, which need not be removed.
Before
operating, be sure the drive is filled to the proper level
with the correct lubricant, in accordance with the
Lubrication Instructions Section.
Also, note that some agitators will require the shaft to
be installed in the tank before the power package can be
mounted. This depends on various relative dimensions
and seal arrangements including shaft size and length,
tank height, access openings, shaft seal type, etc.
Review the Shaft Installation Section to decide the
order of assembly for your mixer.

MOUNTING AND LEVELING:

Mount the mixer with output shaft vertical, unless it has
been specifically ordered for mounting in another
position. If it is necessary to mount the unit in a
different position from that for which it was ordered,
consult the factory for suitability first.
Leveling is important not only to prevent unbalanced
shaft forces, but also to prevent oil from spilling over
the top of the drywell in the gear drive unit.
Flange mounted mixers with integral shaft seals, models
ending in --S, --U, --W, cannot normally be leveled at
the mounting flange because the gasket must be
compressed to hold tank pressure. Instead the tank
itself must be leveled so the mounting nozzle face is
horizontal.
CAUTION: Never level the mixer by
shimming under the gear drive unit. This will
cause misalignment and malfunctioning of the
shaft seal located at the mounting flange.
For beam-mounted mixers, align unit by placing broad
flat shims under all mounting feet. Start at the low
speed shaft end and level across the length then the
width of the unit. Check with a feeler gauge to make
certain that all feet are supported, to prevent distortion
of the housing when the unit is bolted down.
After unit is bolted down, align the motor to the drive
unit input shaft.
See separate manufacturers
instructions for motor coupling alignment. Motors and
other components may become misaligned, not only
during handling but also from deflection of supports.
Always check alignment after installation, and realign
motor if necessary. After alignment, install coupling
guard before operating unit, as required by OSHA.
Beam-mounted mixers with separate shaft seal
assemblies must be assembled with their shafts before
leveling, so that the seal can be properly aligned at the
same time.

MOTOR SUPPORT BASES:

The weight, location and starting torque of the motor
will cause some bases to deflect and twist. This
movement is within allowable engineered limits. If the
customer considers the movement excessive outboard
supports may be used to stiffen the arrangement.

page 3

MOTOR COUPLING CONNECTION:

The performance and life of any coupling depends
largely upon how well the coupling is installed and
serviced. Always check alignment after installation.
Refer to the coupling manufacturers manual for
specific instructions.
Couplings normally furnished have a close clearance fit
and should slide easily onto shafts. Spread tapered
bushings with a wedge for clearance until positioned on
the shaft. For interference fit coupling or pulley hubs,
heat to a maximum of 275 F [135 C] and slide onto
shaft.
WARNING: Do not drive coupling hub,
sheave or pulley onto the motor or reducer
shaft. An endwise blow on the shaft may
damage gears and bearings. Do not hammer.

PULLEY OR SHEAVE BELT DRIVES:

Align the motor shaft and input shaft of the gear drive
unit square and parallel by placing a straight edge across
the faces of the sheaves, refer to Figure 2. Check
horizontal shaft alignment by placing one leg of a
square against the face of each sheave, with the spirit
level on the horizontal leg of the square.

FIXED SPEED BELT ADJUSTMENT:

The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt
will not slip under peak load conditions. Overtightening belts shortens bearing and belt life. Check
the belt tension frequently during the first 48 hours of
operation. Keep belts free from foreign material that
may cause slippage. Inspect periodically, and tighten
the belts if they are slipping. Reinstall guard during
operation.

VARIABLE SPEED BELT ADJUSTMENT:

Variable speed belts are self-adjusting.
Check
movement range to provide desired speed variation.
Set stops to limit travel to that range, to avoid excessive
belt and sheave wear.

INSTALLATION
AND ASSEMBLY
OF SHAFTS
CAUTION: Be sure power is locked out
before installing shafts and impellers or
entering tank. Consult applicable local and
national codes for safety procedures.

GENERAL NOTES:
SHAFT HANDLING:
Careful handling is important when installing the
agitator shaft because even a small set can cause later
vibration problems. Therefore, it is important to lift or
move the shaft in a vertical position whenever possible.
When horizontal, a long shaft should be supported at
several points or on a skid. On units with shaft seals,
protect the shaft from scratches or nicks in the seal area.

COUPLINGS:
Most flanged couplings have registers for accurate
alignment. When assembling, make sure that the faces
are clean, the registers are piloted together properly and
the faces are pulled together tightly all around. Always
use a torque wrench to ensure proper engagement
without over-stressing the bolts.

TWO PIECE SHAFTS:

AND
PARALLEL

Some shafts are furnished in two pieces with an intank

coupling. These are usually bolted together before
installation in the tank, unless there is not enough room
to maneuver the shaft as one piece. See Figure 3 and
assemble as follows:
Clean faces and make sure registers have no nicks or
burrs.
Install bolts with the heads down and the nuts up
when the shaft is in the operating position.
Tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern to the values in
Appendix A.

page 4
Be sure registers pilot together and that flange faces
pull together all around.

--U and --W units: Use the Installation of Shafts for

Flange-Mounted Units with Mechanical Seals.

ALL-WELDED SHAFT/IMPELLER ASSEMBLIES:

INSTALLATION OF SHAFTS WITH WELDED COUPLINGS:

These are often awkward to handle, so are usually

installed in the tank before mounting the power package
assembly. They are usually coated with either a rubber
or polymer lining or else have a polished or sanitary
finish. Special care must be taken to protect the coating
or finish against damage during installation.

Refer to Figure 3 for coupling assembly.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
The procedure depends on shaft length, type of shaft
seal and mixer power package mounting arrangement.
The mixer model designation contains a group of three
letters beginning with a Y or Z, such as YHX or ZHX.
From the third letter determine the Section to use:
--X units: Use the Installation of Shaft with Welded
Coupling Half Section, unless the upper end of the
shaft has a removable coupling, see Figure 3, in
which case use the Installation of Shaft with
Removable Coupling Section.

If mixer has a separate vapor seal, install seal on

shaft near coupling, with larger diameter toward the
lower end of the shaft.
Insert shaft into tank. If tank cover has a clearance
hole smaller than the coupling diameter, the shaft
must be inserted through the hole from above before
mounting the power package assembly.
Clean coupling faces and make sure the register has
no nicks or burrs.
Raise shaft up and bolt coupling to power package
output coupling. Tighten bolts in a criss-cross
sequence to the torque value in Appendix A. Be
sure the registers pilot together and the faces pull
together tightly all around.

--S units: Use the Installation of Shafts with

Removable Coupling Section.

INSTALLATION OF SHAFTS WITH REMOVABLE COUPLINGS:

Refer to Figure 3 for coupling assembly.
Remove coupling half from mixer shaft before
installing. Determine if your unit uses a steady bearing,
if the shaft is longer than the tank is deep or if the
suspended shaft is shorter than the tank depth and
follow the appropriate steps.

For a suspended shaft shorter than the tank depth:

After the power package is installed lower the
agitator shaft, with the tapered end up, through the
man-way into the vessel. Impeller hubs may be
installed at this time, see Installation and Assembly
of Impellers Section.

For a one piece shaft that is longer than the tank is deep
or a mixer with a steady bearing:

Raise shaft up through the stuffing box so that the

entire tapered section is above the stuffing box by
about 4 to 6 inches [100 to 150 mm]. Prevent
scraping of shaft against stuffing box because
scratch marks could cause a leak.

Before installing the power package lower the shaft

through the mixer mounting nozzle with the tapered
end up.

Support the shaft firmly from the bottom at this

height. Never lift or support shaft by the impellers,
as this could damage them.

Install impeller hubs on shaft according to the

Installation and Assembly of Impellers Section.
Slide shaft into steady bearing, if used. Lower shaft
the rest of the way into vessel.

Clean mating surfaces on shaft and coupling. Insert

key and thrust plate.

Carefully lower power package, or separate shaft

seal, over shaft extension and mount on tank nozzle.
Be sure to install the flange gasket.
Raise shaft up through the stuffing box so that the
entire tapered section is above the stuffing box by
about 4 to 6 inches [100 to 150 mm]. Prevent
scraping of shaft against stuffing box because
scratch marks could cause a leak.
Support the shaft firmly from the bottom at this
height. Never lift or support shaft by the impellers,
as this could damage them.
Clean mating surfaces on shaft and coupling. Insert
key and thrust plate.
Bolt coupling half to shaft as shown in Figure 3.
Tighten center draw bolt, with lockwasher, to torque
in Appendix A. Coupling should move down evenly
on tapered joint.
Drive the coupling down on the taper. Use either a
soft-faced hammer or a piece of wood to protect
coupling face. Retighten bolt to torque value.
Continue to alternate driving and tightening until
bolt will not tighten further. Be sure key does not
wedge and cause coupling to cock.
Wipe coupling faces clean. Raise shaft and install
body-bound flange bolts. Tighten bolts uniformly in
a criss-cross pattern to value from Appendix A. Be
sure faces are pulled tightly all around.
Lockwashers are not used.

Bolt coupling half to shaft as shown in Figure 3.

Tighten center draw bolt, with lockwasher, to
required torque per Appendix A. Coupling should
move down evenly on tapered joint.
Drive the coupling down on the taper. Use either a
soft-faced hammer or a piece of wood to protect
coupling face. Retighten bolt to torque value.
Continue to alternate driving and tightening until
bolt will not tighten further. Be sure key does not
wedge and cause coupling to cock.
Wipe coupling faces clean. Raise shaft and install
body-bound flange bolts. Tighten bolts uniformly in
a criss-cross pattern to value from Appendix A. Be
sure faces are pulled tightly all around.
Lockwashers are not used.

INSTALLATION OF SHAFTS FOR FLANGE-MOUNTED UNITS

WITH MECHANICAL SEALS:
Refer to Figure 3 for coupling assembly.
All mechanical seal units have an intank coupling a
few inches below the mounting flange. Since this
coupling will normally be located inside the neck of
the tank nozzle, where it is relatively inaccessible,
the shaft must be attached before mounting the
power package assembly on the tank.
Insert the shaft into the tank. Impeller hubs may be
installed at this time, see the Installation and
Assembly of Impellers Section.
Support the shaft at the bottom or at the tank nozzle
so the coupling is a few inches above the nozzle.
Clean mating coupling faces.

page 6
Lower power package until coupling can be bolted
together.
IMPORTANT: Bolts must be inserted from
below so that the nuts will be on top of the
coupling.
Tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern to the value
from Appendix A. Be sure the registers pilot
together and that the faces pull together tightly all
around.
Install power package assembly by following the
Power Package Installation Section.

INSTALLATION AND
ASSEMBLY OF IMPELLERS
After the shaft is installed, attach impellers as
described below and as shown on the Certified
Dimension Drawing. If the end of the shaft is close to
the tank bottom, it is often easier to install the hubs
before installing the shaft. Refer to the Certified
Dimension Drawing and specifications for your unit to
find the type of impellers used on your mixer. Note
that lockwashers are not used on stainless steel and
other high alloy bolts.

KEYLESS IMPELLERS:
Many low power mixers (3 HP or less) are furnished
with impellers that do not have keyways. These have
one or two setscrews for attachment, and there will
usually be a machined flat on the shaft. Slide the hub
onto the shaft. Tighten one setscrew against the flat
and the other (if used) against the shaft. Torque to
value specified in Appendix A, Table VI.

KEYED IMPELLERS:
Attach hub to shaft with key and setscrew as shown on
the Certified Dimension Drawing, and then bolt blades
to hub. Note that the hub must be above the keyway to
install the key in the shaft. Tighten fasteners to the
torque specified in Appendix A, Table VI.

HIFLOW IMPELLERS:
For HiFlow impellers with triangular hub, you may
find wrench clearances to be tight when attaching the
blades. This occurs often with upper impellers, where
the shaft runs entirely through the hub. Experience has
shown that it may be easier to insert the bolts through
the holes from inside BEFORE sliding the hub onto the

shaft, then installing the nuts on the outside. Note that

lockwashers are not used on stainless steel and other
high alloy bolts. Some HiFlow impellers have the key
head facing up, refer to the Certified Dimension
Drawing.

SPECIAL IMPELLERS:
Installation of other impeller designs such as paddles,
gates, anchors, etc. is similar to the turbines in the
previous section. Refer to special instructions that
accompany other special impeller designs.

FINAL AGITATOR
ASSEMBLY AND STARTUP
Check that power package is mounted correctly. Align
and install separate shaft seal (tank mounted) and
steady bearing, if used. Use the installed mixer shaft
to align these before fastening them in place. Install
any accessory items such as bolt-on impeller stabilizer
ring, seal lubricator, etc.
Make final electrical connections and install any
required safety guards or devices. Lubricate agitator
and any mechanical seals or stuffing boxes according
to Lubrication Instructions Section. Ensure breather
vent is installed.
Make certain all tools and supplies have been removed
from the tank. If conditions permit, rotate the unit by
hand to check for any obstructions.
When power is available, jog the unit for an instant to
verify proper rotation direction.
Most ProQuip
agitators rotate clockwise when viewed from above,
EXCEPT those with upflow HiFlow impellers, which
normally operate counterclockwise.

RUNNING TEST:
If conditions allow, conduct an initial running test. Fill
the tank with water to a level of one impeller diameter
over the lower main impeller. Start the mixer and
allow it to run for several minutes under load. Check
for leaks, noises, or other abnormalities, then shut the
unit down and recheck oil levels. Add oil to maintain
levels if necessary.
THE UNIT IS NOW READY FOR OPERATION.

page 7

LUBRICATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions apply primarily to the gear
drive unit. See separate instructions for shaft seals and
special accessory items. Before installation, note oil fill
(HC-3) and drain (H-2) locations for access; see the
appropriate Figure for your drive size in Appendix C.
CAUTION: All units shipped from the factory
WITHOUT OIL.
The most important factor in the life of your mixer
drive is use of the correct lubricant, changed at proper
intervals. The recommended lubricating oil for ambient
temperatures in the 30 - 100 F [0 - 38 C] range is an
AGMA No. 7 or No. 8 petroleum derived steam
cylinder oil compounded with 4% - 5% acidless tallow
additive. Oil should be non-foaming type to prevent
loss over the drywell.
Operation on a tank of hot liquid, lack of ventilation, or
exposure to direct sun may create a local ambient at
the drive unit that is higher than the surroundings. This
should be considered when choosing the proper
lubricant.
For ambient temperatures of 30 - 100 F [0 - 38 C],
AGMA No. 7 is recommended for operation at output

Gallons

Liters

NOTE: NEVER USE ordinary motor oils, EP

oils, automotive transmission or rear end oils,
or greases. Some suppliers may suggest oils
with inactive sulfur-phosphorus additives
instead of the compounded cylinder oils
specified above. We DO NOT recommend
their use, except for cold weather operation as
described in the following section.

HIGH AND LOW

TEMPERATURE
OPERATION
When temperatures are outside the standard 30 - 100 F
[0 - 38 C] range, a suitable high or low temperature
lubricant should be used. Alternately, an all-weather
synthetic lubricant described in the Synthetic Lubricant
Section of this Manual may be chosen. Consult factory
for recommendations if temperatures exceed limits
shown.

LOW TEMPERATURES:

Unit
Size

speeds above 70 rpm, AGMA No. 8 is recommended

for slower output speeds. If the ambient temperature is
continuously above 70 F [21 C] AGMA No. 8 is
preferred regardless of mixer speed. The viscosity of
AGMA No. 7 compound is approximately 135 SSU at
210 F [30 CSt at 100 C] and No. 8 is approximately
175 SSU at 210 F [38 CSt at 100 C]. Some brand
names of typical oils, and their manufacturer, can be
found in Table III.

such starting difficulties occur consult the factory or
consider a synthetic all-weather oil.
For operation in lower ambient temperatures, cold
weather oil should be used since AGMA No. 7 oils may
not provide proper lubrication. Use either all-weather
synthetic oil or AGMA worm gear oil with INACTIVE
sulfur-phosphorus additives as shown in Table II.
Change back to standard oil when the minimum
temperature returns to 30 F [0 C].

HIGH TEMPERATURES:
AGMA No. 8 oils usually allow limited operation in
temperatures up to 125 F [50 C], but ONLY if the
actual oil temperature remains below 200 F [90 C].
To check, operate the unit at least one hour at full load,
the hottest conditions; then shut it off and measure the
oil temperature immediately.
If a unit operates in the sun at ambient temperatures
over 100 F [38 C], then special measures should be
taken to protect it from solar energy. This can consist
of a canopy over the unit or reflective paint on the unit,
to prevent the gear drive sump temperature from
exceeding the allowable maximum of 200 F [90 C].

SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS
Mobil Oil SHC-634, Chevron Hipersyn 460 and PetroCanada Syndro SHB 460 are excellent all-weather
synthetic lubricants, suitable for the ambient
temperature range from -25 to 140 F [-30 to 60 C].

Contact Factory for information on other brands.

NOTE: Yale Synthlube and Royal Purple
products are not recommended.

SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT CHANGES:

Synthetic lubricant change intervals can be extended up
to 1 year, based on operating temperatures and
lubricant life and performance.
Most lubricant
suppliers will test oils and assist in establishing
optimum changing frequency.

REUSE OF SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT:

It may be possible to reuse synthetic lubricant if it can
be filtered clean and free of discoloration, solids,
contaminants and water. Do not reuse if viscosity has
changed more than 5% from original. Laboratory
analysis is recommended. Filter size must be 40 micron
or less.

GREASE LUBRICATION
All bearings have been lubricated at the factory with
lithium-base NLGI #2 grease. Grease these bearings by
the schedule specified in the Preventive Maintenance
Section. Before installing the unit, note the location of
all of the grease fittings for access.

PACKED STUFFING BOX:

PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
After the first 30 to 40 hours of operation, your agitator
should be running at peak efficiency. During this
period the hardened, ground and polished worm
burnishes the bronze gear, spreading the tooth contact
across the full face of the gear and work hardening the
surface of the bronze. This beneficial process will be
apparent by a slight sloughing of metal from the bronze
surface.
After the first 150 hours of operation, drain and flush
housing to remove any particles of bronze which may
have been burnished from gear.
Operating temperature of the drive unit depends on the
ambient temperature and the loading conditions. It is
not unusual for the case below the oil level to be hot to
the touch, over 140 F [60 C]. The lubricants
recommended in the Lubrication Instructions Section
are suitable for continuous operation up to 190 F [88
C]. Problems inherent in continuous operation at
higher temperatures will be minimized by keeping the
fan and the fan housing unobstructed and by keeping
the drive housing as free from dust and dirt as possible.
Should it be necessary to operate the unit continuously
in an excessively hot or closely confined area where air
does not circulate freely, an oil temperature check
should be made after the unit is run in. If the oil
temperature remains above 190 F [88 C], please
consult the factory for recommendations.

OIL FILLING AND CHANGES

Remove the air vent (HC-3) and the bushing (HC-2) it
fits into and pour oil through this port to approximately
halfway up bronze gear. The correct level will be
midway in the sight glass (H-1) or on the upper mark of
the dipstick if so equipped. Be sure to allow time for
the oil to fill all parts of the case and reach a stable
level.
CAUTION: Do not overfill. Some rise will
occur as the oil heats during operation and any
excess oil will overflow the drywell, diluting
the bearing grease and leaking out the oil seal.
The oil should be changed every six months for normal
service, or every three months for severe service. In
moist or dusty conditions, or for continuous operation
near the maximum temperature, more frequent changes
may be required.

When changing oil, the unit should be drained as soon

as possible after it is shut off. This reduces the time
needed to drain the oil completely and prevents any
water, sludge or particles from settling out of oil and
remaining in the reducer to contaminate the new oil.

BETWEEN OIL CHANGES:

Check oil level periodically with unit stopped. Add oil
if needed. The air vent (HC-3) should be checked to
be sure it is not clogged. Clogged air vents can produce
pressure build-up in the reducer that causes oil to leak
out.
Check units in intermittent service weekly for water
contaminated lubricant as follows:
With mixer off, let gear box cool to ambient
temperature.
Loosen bottom drain plug (H-2) and drain some
lubricant into a small container.
Examine for water or discolored, creamy-looking
lubricant. If present, drain until uncontaminated oil
flows out.
Refill to proper level with correct lubricant.

REDUCER OIL SEALS

As illustrated in Figure 4, lip-type oil seals are used on
both shafts. The high speed shaft oil seal (W-5 on
Z-Series or PY-3 on Y-Series) has a dust excluding
second lip. During initial operation this seal may heat
the shaft considerably and tend to leak slightly until the
Buna-N sealing lip is run in and properly seated. Even
after run in, a slight seepage of oil through the seal is
necessary for proper lubrication of the lip.
If the unit is subjected to chemicals not compatible with
the seal or to abrasive dust, it is important to provide
guards, where possible, to prevent accumulations at the
seal area.

BEARING LUBRICATION:
See the Lubrication Section for grease selection and
bearings that require regreasing. Regrease the required
bearings when changing the oil in the gear drive unit,
or every 3000 to 4000 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first.
NOTE: Avoid over-greasing bearings or
greasing more often than necessary. Both of
these can shorten bearing life.

page 10
The movement of the reducer should not be
noticeable to the eye.

MOTORS AND COUPLINGS:

See manufacturers instructions for routine
maintenance. Most standard couplings furnished on
Y/Z-Series units do not require lubrication. Check
manufacturers instructions for variable speed sheaves
or special couplings specified by the user.

TROUBLESHOOTING
For the following problems a few possible causes and
their associated remedies are listed. If any of the
problems persist, consult the factory for
recommendations.

EXCESSIVE NOISE AND VIBRATION:

The reducer mounting may not be sufficiently rigid.
Tighten foot bolts and check mounting stiffness.

the reducer is not overloaded and keep the oil clean.
Bearings may be worn or faulty. Check the
alignment, adjustment and possible overloading.
Clean and flush reducer housing. Replace any worn
bearings and add new lubricant as required.
Shaft endplay or backlash may be excessive. Check
for proper shimming and worn bearings or gears.

OVERHEATING:
Oil level may be low or type of oil is incorrect. See
the Lubrication Instructions Section and check for
proper oil, oil level and change intervals.
Check for excessive churning of oil during
operation. Drain any excess oil.

STORAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
The equipment should be stored indoors in a clean, dry
location.
OUTDOOR STORAGE IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
The temperature should be
regulated to prevent condensation in the motor and the
gear drive unit.
Store the agitator power package in its normal
operating position so that the motor drains are at the
lowest point. Breather vents and drains must be
fully operational or the drain plugs removed from
the motor. Rotate the motor and gear reducer
several rotations by hand to ensure that lubricant is
well distributed in the bearings. Repeat every 30
days.

Clean, dry storage is recommended. If stored

outdoors, or where danger of condensation exists, it
is desirable to keep the motor and gear reducer
warm (above dew point) by supplying auxiliary
heat.
If stored outdoors, cover the power package with a
tarpaulin to protect it from the weather while
allowing it to breathe. DO NOT USE plastic or
other impervious coverings as they may trap
moisture and promote condensation.
Be sure to rotate mechanism at least every thirty
days and check protective coatings periodically.
Every 3 to 6 months, inspect for condensation, water
in the oil/rust inhibitor, and add or renew oil/rust
inhibitor.

TERMINATION OF STORAGE:

Mixer shafts may be stored either in a vertical

position (preferred), or horizontally on their
shipping skids. Protect shaft from being stepped on
or having other material stacked on top of it.

Follow standard installation instructions, plus the

following additional steps.

If unit is to be stored longer than four months,

outdoors, or where condensation may form then
follow the long-term instructions below.

Thoroughly clean the rust preventative from all

mating surfaces that must be assembled together,
including any bolt spot-face areas.

Units may be stored or deactivated and left on line

for up to four months in a dry environment without
special precautions.

If any internal rusting from condensation has

occurred, consult ProQuip for advice.

LONG TERM AND OUTDOOR STORAGE:

To store the unit outdoors or for extended periods of
time, follow the above procedure, plus the following:
Megger motor windings and record value of
insulation resistance.
For long term storage, fill the unit to the proper
level with a rust inhibiting oil, such as Shell VSI.
Make certain all machined steel parts have a coating
of heavy grease or other rust-preventive coating.
Oil, grease, or otherwise protect all carbon steel
agitator components.

Drain oil and refill to operating level with proper

lubricant.

Before applying power, megger the motor windings

for correct insulation resistance. Various motor
manufacturers specify the following minimum
readings for their motors:
Reliance Electric:
1/2 of value before storage
Marathon Electric, Siemens and U.S. Motors:
1.2 Megaohms for 200V or 230V motors
1.5 Megaohms for 460V or 575V motors
3.3 Megaohms for 2300V motors
NOTE: If value has dropped below those
listed above, consult with motor
manufacturer for proper procedure for
drying motor insulation.

GEAR REDUCER
ASSEMBLY
When reinstalling the flanged lower coupling half,
make sure both the shaft and coupling bore are clean
and free from any foreign matter or particles which
might make later removal difficult. The coupling may
either be pressed on or heated in an oil bath to
approximately 250 F [121 C] and shrunk on. After
installation, check the coupling for proper mounting by
measuring the runout. When the shaft and coupling
have cooled to room temperature, place an indicator
against the face of the coupling in the area between the
boltholes and the register, and rotate the unit by hand.
Total indicated runout of the coupling face should be
0.004 [0.10 mm] maximum.
CAUTION: Never hammer the coupling on or
off, as this can damage the bearings or spring a
shaft.

page 13
When a new worm, gear or bearing is installed in your
drive unit, the assembly procedure affects the life
expectancy of all rotating parts as well as the quietness
of operation. The important assembly procedures are
establishment of correct axial endplay on worm shaft
and gear shaft and proper tooth contact pattern between
worm and gear. Worm gears are produced to allow for
deflection and provide an entry gap on entering side
of the gear tooth. Contact on the driving face of the
gear tooth is required on the leaving side of the tooth
as shown in Figure 5.
