Transport
The gearbox is packed to suit the type of transport such that it can be transported without damage.
The gearbox is equipped with holes for ring bolts as per the installation drawing. Appropriate ring
bolts are to be fitted such that they are tight against the bearing surface. On some models, special
hooks for lifting tackle are fitted to the lower part of the housing.
The ends of shafts and attachment parts such as pipes and coolers are not allowed to be
used for transport.
For transport, ropes with adequate carrying capacity are to be attached to the ring bolts/hooks (the
weight of the gearbox is to be taken from the rating plate or the gearbox data sheet). For types with
an adapter housing, the ropes can be placed through the opening on the adapter housing.
•
Only the ring bolts or the hooks are designed for the transport of the gearbox. Transporting the
gearbox using attachment parts already fitted is not allowed.
•
It is only allowed to lift and set down the gearbox using suitable lifting gear.
•
All transport aids fitted are to be used. During transport the gearbox is be kept horizontal so that
all points are evenly loaded.
•
During transport it is to be ensured that any attachment parts, e.g. pumps, coolers or pipes are
not damaged.
•
Transport is to be performed with extreme care to avoid injury. Damage to the gearbox, e.g. due
to impacts on the open ends of shafts or due to setting down hard is to be avoided.
5.3
Storage
Proper storage of the gearbox will prevent premature damage and problems during later commis-
sioning.
•
The gearbox is to be stored in place free of vibration and protected from the weather.
•
Vibrations and shocks can cause damage. Moisture and other substances can impair the func-
tionality of the gearbox.
•
It is not allowed to stack gearboxes on top of each other.
•
The gearbox and the attachment parts are to be protected from mechanical, chemical and
thermal damage, as these can cause corrosion.
6 Installation
6.1
General installation instructions
During the installation of the gearbox, it is imperative that the instructions in section 3 "Safety in-
structions" are observed. Damage cause by incorrect installation is excluded from the warranty.
•
Installation is only to be performed by trained, authorized and appropriately instructed person-
nel.
•
The gearbox is to be installed in a suitable place such that there is sufficient space for the in-
stallation work and subsequent servicing work.
