5.3 Mounting of external drive shafts
The external drive shafts consists of square tubes and shall be connected to the spherical
shaft ends on bevel gears and motor-drive mechanism by means of two coupling halves.
The square shafts and protective tubes must be cut before mounting.
CAUTION
Before mounting of shafts and couplings, everything must be cleaned and greased for cor-
rect function and to avoid corrosion.
Apply a thin layer of grease, GULF-718EP Synthetic grease or Mobilgrease 28 or SHELL-
Aero Shell Grease 22 to all spherical shaft ends and unpainted surfaces of the bevel gears.
CAUTION
The motor-drive mechanism and on-load tap-changer shall have the same indicated tap
position. See section 5.1.
The inclination of the shaft (the square tube) must not be more than 4
o
(=70mm for every
1000 mm shaft length).
NOTE: The tubes around shafts and couplings are for protection.
The arrangement of the driving shaft system is shown in Fig. 16.
