The method: loosen the four bolts (for temporary fixing) and move the couplings until it is concentric with the
transmission nozzle flange. Shown as Figure 6-21;
Fasten the four bolts, and the coaxiality of the flange excircle should be less than 0.3 mm.
Then line bore the mill end diaphragm stack and the transmission nozzle flange. The numbers of line bored holes is
determined according to the user requirement. Normally, four holes at symmetric positions are enough. The size and
bolts for line bored holes are determined and prepared by the user himself.
Make a permanent match mark for line bored holes at the right place to facilitate the whole system assembly later
on.
The designed clearance is 6 mm, and the total thickness of the shims delivered with the output shaft and the
diaphragm stack is 12 mm which is larger than the permissible value. Adjust the thickness on site according to the
measured value.
That means before mounting the output shaft and diaphragm stack, the user needs to work out total required
thickness and select right shims accordingly.
The shim package includes three pieces of 2 mm shims, four pieces of 1.5 mm shims, and the total thickness is 12
mm.
The shape of shims can be a 120 degree sector or a 180 degree sector with a special cut for bolts’ going through

(2) To clean the teeth surface and inner side of the housing, the user can introduce a plastic or rubber pipe from the
above temporary pipe into the visual inspection openings on the main reducer and the slow drive. Spray the oil on
the inner wall and gear surface to remove dust and sand.
(3) When the above job finished, turn the bypass valve which is near the oil pump half open. Now you can start the
oil pump. Observe the oil outgoing pressure at the pump and ingoing pressure at the reducer end. Then close the
bypass valve slowly, the oil will flow to all components via the pipeline. Meanwhile check the pipeline especially the
flanges for leakage.
(4) After cleaning the gearbox for a while, please check the oil pumping function and bearing oiling.
When the job finished, remove the plastic pipe and restore to the original pipeline.
(5) For the first four hours cleaning, stop the oil pump every hour, remove and check the screens of the oil intake /
return flange filter and the duplex filter. Remove all foreign objects from the screens. Then check above items every
two hours. To ensure the gearbox is clean, after the screens of above two components are found having no any
harmful impurities, you may also need to continue this two hours check for two or three times. If there is still no any
impurities, please remove and clean the filter of the oil intake flange and then put it back. Fasten the bolts and
execute oil circulating until there is no any impurity on all screens. Thus the cleaning is done. It takes about 40
hours.

Before starting the slow drive, via all the lubricant nipples fill up the output bearing (sliding bearing) with albany
grease and fill the roller bearings in other parts to 2/3 volume with calcium-sodium base grease. Check the oil level
and start the lubricant station for oiling the main reducer.
Run-in means running 20 minutes with jaw clutch or slip clutch disengaged (i.e. the slow drive does not drive the
reducer). Check if it is at the same rotation direction of the mill. Otherwise adjust the wiring of slow drive accordingly.
Check for the temperature changes on bearings and noises.
Make the slow drive engaged with the main reducer, and fix the handle with fastening bolt or locating pin. If the jaws
do not match with each other or the pin does not match with the hole, make them meshed by inching the slow drive.
Make sure all the rotating parts pose no any risk and start the slow drive to drive the reducer and the mill for 20
minutes or 2 - 3 mill circles.
Load running should not exceed 20 minutes for each time. Check slow drive for the vibration, noise, overheats. Stop
the slow drive immediately, if there is anything abnormal.
Press the "Stop" button when the slow drive drives the mill to the right position, and then the brake motor brakes or
the brake and switch clasp at same time. Thus the mill stops at the right position.
Before the main motor drives the mill, the slow drive should be disconnected with the main reducer. Loosen the bolts
or locating pin of the handle and then push it in reverse direction to discharge the clutch jaw or the pin from the hole.
Push the handle to the limit and then fasten the bolt or plug in the locating pin.
If the handle is hard to push, it means the gravity center of steel ball and abrasives has deviated from the
perpendicular shown as Figure 7-3. In such case, start the slow drive and stop it when the mill rotates to a certain
position. Repeat the above procedure until the torque caused by unbalanced load is eliminated and the clutch is
easy to be disengaged when the mill is stopped.

It should be pointed out: the mill may swing several times under the force of unbalanced load and the user needs to
stop the swing with brake. This is because that the slow drive will become an accelerator when the mill is running.
Under the big ratio, the slow drive and motor will run fast and this may shorten the slow drive service life or even
destroy it.
Please record the above tests with pictures and text for further inspection.
7.5. Stop
For the frozen time of winter, do not cut off the cooling water system totally or you may need to drain out all the water.
In winter, the stop of main motor oil pump can only be initiated when the lubricant is at liquid state.
About 10 minutes after the mill stops, the oil pump can be stopped;
The oil pump may be kept running if the mill is stopped for a short term so that the mill can be restarted at any time;
If the oil pump is stopped, you need to restart it before starting the mill. Make sure that the oil level of lubricant
station is correct. Otherwise do not start the main motor.

NGC recommends cleaning the lubricant filters every 3-4 hours during commissioning time and every 200 hours
during running time. Observe the types and source of the impurities.
Water or other contamination may cause corrosion or damage to the bearings and gearbox. Please test the oil
quality periodically. The first quality testing is conducted after 400 running hours, then at least every half year.
Periodic oil quality check is a necessary measure for a reliable running of the gearbox.
Only qualified analysis institute may perform the lubricant quality testing.
NGC recommends changing the oil after the first 2000 running hours. If everything goes well, you may change the
oil after a longer interval depending on the testing result, but should not exceed 4000 hours.
Before changing the oil, always flush out the gearbox with oil to remove the residual oil and sediment. Use the same
oil as what will be used in operation. Make sure all sediment is removed before filling the new oil.
1. Cut off the power supply and make the gearbox stop running;
2. Make sure that all oil goes back to the oil station;
4. Remove the oil drain plug and drain all oil into the container;
