Potential Hazards
There are a number of hazards that must be avoided when installing, maintaining and repairing Renold Gear units. The following are
suggested
safety guides when undertaking any of the above.
Hot surfaces and lubricants.
After prolonged running, a gear unit can generate high temperatures and can create surface temperatures that could burn the skin.
Do not drain the oil from a gear unit that has been run for a prolonged period because the oil will be hot and could burn the skin. Allow the oil to cool,
prior to draining.
Fire and Explosions.
A gear unit creates an oil mist or vapour internally after prolonged running and can be a fire and explosion risk if a naked flame is in close proximity.
Allow the unit to cool prior to opening the unit.
Flames or high running temperatures can burn or melt rubber compounds and melt plastic compounds and produce dangerous fumes. These compounds
should be avoided until cool and then handled with protective gloves.
Guards
All rotating parts must be guarded with suitable guards, secured to the gear unit or machine frame.
Lifting
Lifting lugs or lifting points to suit eyebolts are provided on all Renold gear units. These must be used at all times.
