All other gear units are delivered by SEW ready for the mounting position with the
breather valve and transport fixture fitted.
Exceptions:
Gear units for long-term storage, in pivoting or inclined mounting positions are supplied
with a screw plug installed in the provided vent hole. Prior to startup, the customer must
replace screw plug at the highest location by the supplied breather valve.
•
With geared motors for long-term storage, pivoting or inclined mounting positions,
the supplied breather valve is located in the motor terminal box.
•
With gear head units that have to be vented on the input side, the breather valve is
supplied in a plastic bag.
•
No breather valve will be supplied for gear units in enclosed design.
Activating the
breather valve
Usually the breather valve is activated in the plant. Should this not be the case,
the transport fixture must be removed from the breather valve prior to the startup
of the gear unit!
Painting the gear
unit
Cover breather valve and oil seals with protective tape prior to painting or partly re-
painting the drive. Remove adhesive strips when the paint job is finished.
