6 INSTALLATION OF THE GEARBOX ONTO THE MACHINE
The front flange of the gearbox features 4 nos. tapped holes that allow the unit to be fixed to the driven
machine. Prior to inserting the mounting bolts apply a small quantity of product, type Loctite 243 or
similar, preventing the bolts from coming loose. Use only the recommended type and class of bolts and
tighten all bolts to the torque specified in the chart here under:
MP 053
MP 060
MP 080
MP 105
MP 130
MP 160
MP 190
When fitting a transmission element onto the shaft do not hit this with a hammer nor use
inadequate tooling. Proceed instead as shown below:
Tie rod (1) and washer (2) are not supplied.
In order to optimize bearings' lifetime, when installing transmission elements with an asymmetrical hub
it is recommended to fit them as suggested in the scheme (A) below:
