SAFETY
Section 2 of this manual contains relevant safety information for both operation and maintenance
of this equipment. Be sure to read and understand this information.
DO NOT operate the equipment if defective or faulty mechanical or electrical components are
detected.
EQUIPMENT USE
The Flo-Line Primer is designed exclusively for removal of large solids from drilling fluid. Derrick
Corporation does not authorize any other use of this equipment. Intended usage of the equipment
includes compliance with the operating, maintenance, and safety procedures included in this
manual.
For maximum safety and performance, no additions and/or changes may be made to the
equipment without the explicit written permission of Derrick Corporation. Genuine Derrick
repair/replacement parts are required.

OPERATION
The primer utilizes a stainless steel conveyor belt to separate hydrated clays (gumbo) and large
drilled cuttings from drilling fluid. The conveyor belt is 30” wide with 1” square mesh openings.
The conveyor belt transports the solids from the rear feed connection to the front of the unit where
they fall into a waste pit. Liquid and small particles fall through the belt mesh and are returned to
the discharge connection at the rear of the machine. The Flo-Line Primer II utilizes a variable-
speed electric drive motor, which allows ample adjustment for changing loads.

ORIENTATION
Throughout this manual, references to front, rear, left, and right are based on viewing the Primer II
from the feed end and looking toward the discharge end.

Inadequate lubrication is by far the largest
contributor to premature failures of worm gear
drives, applied within proper selection practice.
While lubricant selection is important to all gear
reducers, it is critical for the worm gear type. Sliding
action at the tooth mesh dictates use of a relatively
high viscosity oil with special characteristics. A
recent survey indicated improper lubricants were
used in two-thirds of the applications. Although
lightly loaded drives may survive, optimum
performance is not obtained.
Boston Gear now offers Klubersynth UH1-6-460
Synthetic Lubricating Oil as a premium lubricant with
many outstanding benefits for worm gear
applications.
• Reduction in maintenance costs due to
extended time between oil changes.
• Increased ratings providing for smaller drive
selection or longer gear life.
• Lower energy consumption from improved
efficiency.
• Broad ambient temperature range due to high
viscosity temperature.
• Longer seal life, based on lower operating
temperature.
• Multi-purpose application, including most
other types of gear drives.

Lubrication Instructions
WARNING - Boston Gear speed reducers are
normally shipped without lubricant. They must be
filled to the proper level with the recommended
lubricant for your application before operation.
The recommended lubricant table indicates the type
and viscosity of lubricant suitable for reducers
operating at various temperatures.
Lubrication and maintenance instructions are
provided with each speed reducer. These
instructions should be followed for best results. It is
important that the proper type of oil be used since
many oils are not suitable for the lubrication of gears.
Various types of gearing require different types of
lubricants.
The lubricant must remain free from oxidation and
contamination by water or debris, since only a very
thin film of oil stands between efficient operation and
failure. To assure long service life, the reducer should
be periodically drained (preferably while warm) and
refilled to the proper level with a recommended gear
oil. Under normal environmental conditions oil
changes are suggested after the initial 250 hours or
every 6 months.
Synthetic lubricants will allow extended lubrication
intervals due to its increased resistance to thermal
and oxidation degradation. It is suggested that the
initial oil change be made at 1500 hours and, there-
after, at 5000 hour intervals.
During the initial period of operation, higher than
normal operating temperatures may be seen. This is
due to the initial break-in of the worm gear set. The
temperature of Double Reduction Worm Gear
Reducers may reach 160°F and Single Reduction
Worm Gear Reducers approximately 225°F.
Boston Gear® • Worm Gear Speed Reducer
These instructions must be read thoroughly before
installing or operating speed reducers. File
instructions for future reference and for ordering of
replacement parts.
General Instructions
1. Align all shafts accurately. Improper alignment
can result in failure. Use of flexible couplings is
recommended to compensate for slight
misalignment.
CAUTION – If the motor does not readily seat
itself, check to determine if key has moved axially
along motor shaft, causing interference. Staking
of the keyway adjacent to the motor key will
facilitate this procedure.
Key Staking Instructions
Lightly tap area of keyway adjacent to key. This will
upset material and not allow key to move axially
when assembling to speed reducer.

2. When mounting, use maximum possible bolt

size and secure reducer to a rigid foundation.
Periodic inspection of all bolts is recommended.

3. Auxiliary drive components (such as sprockets,

gears and pulleys) should be mounted on the
shafts as close as possible to the housing to
minimize effects of overhung loads. Avoid
force fits that might damage bearings or gears.

4. For hollow-shaft speed reducers, place speed

reducer as close as possible to supporting
bearing on drive shaft. Spot-drill driven shaft
for setscrews in severe applications. See kit Shaft
instructions for reaction rod assembly.

5. Check and record gear backlash at installation

and again at regular intervals. This should be
done by measuring the rotary movement of the
output shaft (rotating alternately clockwise and
counterclockwise) at a suitable radius while
holding the input shaft stationary. Gears should
be replaced when the backlash exceeds four
times the measurement taken at installation.
6. Gear drives are rated for 1750 input RPM and
Class I Service (Service Factor 1.0), using
Klubersynth UH1-6-460 synthetic lubricant. For
lower input speeds or for different service
classes or lubricants, see catalog selection
pages for rating information.
7. Initial operating temperatures may be higher
than normal during the break-in period of the
gear set. FOR MAXIMUM LIFE, DO NOT
ALLOW THE SPEED REDUCER TO OPERATE
CONTINUOUSLY ABOVE 225°F AT THE GEAR
CASE. In the event of overheating, check for
overloads or high ambient temperatures. Keep
shafts and vent plugs clean to prevent foreign
particles from entering seals or gear housing.
CAUTION
• For safe operation of any gear drive, all
rotating shafts and auxiliary components must
be shielded to conform with applicable safety
standards. You must consider overall
operational system safety at all times.
• When using a speed reducer to raise or lower a
load, such as in hoisting applications,
provision must be made for external braking.
Under no conditions should a speed reducer be
considered self-locking.
• Mounting of speed reducers in overhead posi-
tions may be hazardous. Use of external guides
or supports is strongly recommended for over-
head mounting.
Instructions for Flanged Models
F700 (Quill Type Input)

8. All reducers should be checked to see if they
have been lubricated. Prelubed 700 Series
reducers will have a solid plug in the vent hole
which must be replaced by the vent plug at time
of installation.
1. Assemble the key to the motor shaft and coat the
shaft with anti-seize compound. Insert the motor
shaft into the reducer input shaft.
