1.5 Personnel qualification
All transport, storage, installation, commissioning and maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified specialist personnel.
Qualified specialist personnel are persons who have the training and experience to recognise and
avoid any possible risks.
1.6 Safety for particular activities
1.6.1 Check for transport damage
Transport damage may cause malfunctions of the drive, which may cause personal injury. Oil which
escapes due to leaks may cause a slipping hazard.
• Check the packaging and the drive for transport damage.
• Do not commission the drive if it has been damaged during transport.
1.6.2 Hazards when lifting
The motor is heavy. Persons may be severely injured by falling or swinging motors. Therefore also
observe the following information:
• Cordon off a wide area around the hazard area. Take care that there is adequate space to avoid
swinging loads.
• Never stand under suspended loads.
• Use adequately dimensioned means of transport which are suitable for the purpose. Note the
weight of the motor (please see chapter 3.1 "Transporting the drive").
• Only lift the motor by the eye bolts which are provided. The eye bolts must be fully screwed in. Only
pull on the eye bolts vertically, never cross-wise or at an angle. Use all provided eye bolts.
• Only use the eye bolts to lift the motor without other components. The eye bolts are not designed
for lifting the motor with attachments.
• Only use the lashing points provided for the entire machine unit to lift machine units. Machine units
must not be lifted by attaching a single component.
1.6.3 Safety information for installation and maintenance
Before starting any work, disconnect the motor from the power supply and secure it against accidental
switch-on. Let the motor cool down.
Damaged or defective components, attachment adapters and flanges may have sharp edges. Wear
work gloves and work clothing.
The motor contains strong magnets. Dismantling without specialist knowledge and suitable aids may
lead to crushing of hands. Only trained personnel are allowed to dismantle the motor.
