The mounting instructions for the KWG Series worm gearboxes are outlined below.
The KWG-00 through KWG-35 gearboxes are designed with a bottom entry splined adapter.
The KWG-04 through KWG-12 gearboxes are designed with a top entry splined adapter. A
separate set of instructions for each design is provided. See Section 2.4.1 for the KWG-00
through KWG-35 and Section 2.4.2 for the KWG-04 through KWG-12.
2.2.1 KWG-00 through KWG-35
1. Place the valve disk in the full closed position.
NOTE:
If the splined adapter is already installed in the operator, go to step 6.
NOTE:
The notch in the worm gear at the closed position must be aligned with the keyway in the
splined adapter.
NOTE:
If the splined adapter is already installed in the operator, go to step 6.
NOTE:
The notch in the worm gear at the closed position must be aligned with the keyway in the

Section 3: Lubrication
3.1 Operator Lubricants
Emerson KWG operators are shipped with the following lubricants:
Table 1. Lubricants
NOTE:
The lubricant should be checked every 18 months for manual operators.
Quantity
Emerson operators are built to operate on the partial immersion principle. The primary concern
regarding the amount of lubricant is whether the “worm” is totally immersed in grease. This
can be verified by the use of one or more of the “fill” and “drain” plugs provided on the operator
housing in most sizes.
Quality
When removing a fill or drain plug to inspect the lubricant level, remove a small amount and
ensure that it is clean and free of any contaminant, including water. Should dirt, water or other
foreign matter be found, the operators should be flushed with a commercial degreaser/cleaner
which is non-corrosive and does not affect seal materials such as Buna-N or Viton. Repack
operator with fresh lubricant.
Consistency
The main gear box lubricant should be slightly fluid, approximating a standard NLGI-2 grade
consistency or less.
Alternate lubricants may be used in place of the standard lubricants supplied by Emerson,
provided they are of a formulation similar to those listed above for the respective product.
