Transport of the gear unit must be carried out so as to avoid personal damage and
damage to the gear unit.
If, for example, the free shaft ends are knocked, this may damage the gear unit.

should be left without oil filling and on the transport packing.
Use only the eyes provided to attach lifting equipment to the unit.
Handling of the gear unit by attaching it to the piping is not permitted.
