EBI GEAR REDUCTIONS PROVIDE FOR EASY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL . OUR
UNIQUE LOCKING WEDGE SYSTEM PROVIDES FOR ACCURATE PINION TO RACK MESH
ADJUSTMENT.
The GB82 jack case is configured with wedge plates that are welded to the jack case
itself. These wedge plates take all of the vertical jacking load from the gearbox
and transfer them into the jack case. The gearbox mounting flange fits firmly
against the upper edge of the mounting plate.

Locking wedge system consists of tapered wedges, items 3 and 5 in the Bill of Materials,
that are locked into place by bolts, nuts, and retaining brackets, items 6 and 7. The
retaining brackets are held in place by the 6 mounting studs that hold the box in place.
The studs take no jacking or parting force loads and therefore do not require a high
tightening torque value. (only 1000 ft-lbs)

Wedges are locked in place by hammering lugs inward and securing with bolt and lock nut.

The GB82 is shipped with two lifting eyes for mounting. The unit may
be lifted with one hook in the vertical position and turned
horizontal by lowering one hook and raising another.
A come-a-long may be used to pull the gearbox into position. Units
should be installed starting from the bottom and working upward.
Lifting eyes are removed and hydraulic motor mounted after securing
gearbox to jack case.
Use a hand pump (grease gun) filled with hydraulic oil to pump up the brake to 800 psi or
loosen the motor mount plate bolts to release brake. Turn the pinion gear using the “tee”
handle input gear to align with rack. Mesh into rack using a jack (port-a-power) leaving
5/8 inch clearance between the root of the pinion and the tip of the rack. Be sure that leg is
centered within tower for this adjustment.

Should there be a need for repair or re-adjustment of pinion to rack mesh due to
wear, the EBI GB82 Gear Reduction provides for this without gouging weld
material and re-welding. The wedge system may be unlocked by following the
reverse process to installation.
This presentation is intended to give an overview of the installation process for the
GB82 gearbox. Common sense practices should be used in handling the units
and care should be taken not to scar machined surfaces should any disassembly
of the unit occur. Certain individual components are heavy and awkward to
handle so it is recommended that proper safe lifting apparatus be used.
