General information
WARNING
Suspended loads can fall.
Severe or fatal injuries.
•
Do not stand under the suspended load.
•
Secure the danger zone.
•
Use suitable, sufficiently rated, and undamaged handling equipment.
•
Consider the gear unit dimensions, the center of gravity, and the weight that has
to be moved when selecting lifting equipment or crane (see dimension drawing).
The weight to be moved is the total weight of the drive package including mount-
on components (not only the weight of the gear unit).
WARNING
Lifted loads may fall over.
Severe or fatal injuries.

Secure the gear unit against falling over during the lifting process.
•
Secure the danger zone.
•
Use suitable, sufficiently rated, and undamaged handling equipment.
•
Consider the gear unit dimensions, the center of gravity, and the weight that has
to be moved when selecting lifting equipment or crane (see order documents).
The weight to be moved is the total weight of the drive package including mount-
on components (not only the weight of the gear unit).
CAUTION
Risk of slipping of unsecured mount-on components, such as keys.
Potential risk of crushing due to falling parts.
•
Secure the mount-on components.
CAUTION
Danger due to lubricant leaking from damaged seals and the breather.
Minor injuries.
•
Check the gear unit and mount-on components for leaking lubricant.
•
The seals must not come in contact with cleaning agent as this may damage the
seals.
•
Protect the breather against damage.
•
Make sure that there is not too much oil in the gear unit. If the oil level is too high
and the temperature rises, lubricant may escape from the breather.
