The installation of the motor gearbox and adjustment of the limit switch may only be done by qualified staff (see para-
graph 1.5).
4.1 Mounting positions & venting screw
When determining the mounting position, the following points should be taken in account:
• To connect the guidance bracket to the GXP motor gearbox three M8 bolts of property class 8.8 or higher should be
used. The screw-in length should be between 10 and 15 mm.
• Keep approximately 500mm free in the front for the adjustment of the limit switch system.
• If the motor gearbox is installed in a dusty or damp room it must be housed in a decent enclosure.
• Keep about 300 mm free behind the electric motor to be able to drive the motor gearbox manually or with a drill
(maximum speed 250 RPM) via the internal hexagonal at the end of the shaft of the electric motor, in case of a
power failure.
The motor gearbox was filled with the correct amount and type of oil during production. Every motor gearbox is fitted
with two red venting screws. After installing the motor gearbox, the highest positioned of the two red venting screws
has to be removed. A few drops of oil may run out of the vent hole during commissioning. Hold on to the removed red
screw and keep it with this manual.

Warning
!
● The maximum allowed torque for the coupling sleeves and accessories may not be exceeded.

middle of the roll-up tube.
4.2.1 Transport
Mortal danger! Falling objects may form a risk to persons!
● Transport the motor gearbox carefully, avoid bumps.
● Careless handling will cause damage to the motor gearbox.
● Use a cherry picker, or hoist the motor gearbox upwards by use of a hoisting device and suitable straps
which should be placed around the outgoing shafts.
