Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
6.1
General information on fitting
When transporting the gear unit observe the notes in section 4, "Transport and storage".
Fitting work must be done with great care by trained and qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and installation.
As early as during the planning phase sufficient space must be allowed around the gear unit for later care
and maintenance work.
Free convection through the surface of the housing must be ensured by suitable measures.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
During operation the unit must not be allowed to heat up through exposure to heat
from external sources such as sunlight, and suitable measures must be taken to
prevent this.
Do avoid a heat concentration!
The operator should ensure that no foreign bodies affect the proper function of the
gear unit (e.g. falling objects or heaping over).
No electrical welding work must be done at all on the drive system.
The drive systems must not be used as an earthing point for welding operations.
Toothed parts and bearings may be irreparably damaged by welding.
All the fastening points provided by the design of the unit must be used.
Screws which have been damaged during assembly or disassembly work must be
replaced with new ones of the same strength class and type.
Take precautions to avoid burns from hot parts!
Wear suitable protective gloves!
To ensure proper lubrication during operation, the mounting position specified on the drawings
must always be observed.
For dimensions, space requirement and arrangement of the supply connections (on gear units
with oil cooling), refer to the drawings in the gearunit documentation.
6.1.1
Unpacking
The products supplied are listed in the dispatch papers. Check immediately on receipt to ensure that all
the products listed have actually been delivered. Parts damaged and/or missing parts must be reported
to Siemens in writing immediately.
The packaging must not be opened or damaged, if this is part of the preservation method!
•
Remove packaging material and transporting equipment and dispose of in accordance with
regulations.
•
Perform a visual check for any damage and contamination.
If there is any visible damage, the gear unit must not be put into operation. The
instructions in section 4, "Transport and storage", must be observed.
