Reducer Maintenance
Most conveyors come equipped with standard Gear Reducer made by Dodge Gear. This
is a trouble free reducer with normal applications and maintenance. To keep it that way,
make sure you know how to check it over, then do it regularly as shown below.
Try to keep the reducer sprocket installed as close to the reducer as possible to reduce
any overhung loads. Keep the reducer clean so it can dissipate excess heat better. All
mounting bolts should be tightened securely. Check the lube level regularly. Change the
lubricant every six months or 2500 hours, whichever comes first. Gearmotors require no
lubrication change under most conditions.

Inspect your reducer vent plug often to make sure it is clear and operating. It is the upper
plug on the reducer. The next lower plug is the level plug and the lowest plug is the drain
plug. The oil level should be kept at the bottom of the threaded hole of the level plug.
However, if the conveyor and reducer are inclined above horizontal, extra oil may be
required for optimum reducer life. Synthetic oil, if used, should not be intermixed with
regular oil.
