Removal from service
•
Switch off the drive unit.
Secure the drive unit to prevent it from being started up unintentionally.
Attach a warning notice to the start switch.
In addition the gear unit must be secured to the fan at the output side in such a manner
that the fan cannot drive the gear unit.
In case of types fitted with motor pump:
The motor pump must be allowed to constantly rotate fully in order to achieve optimum
corrosion prevention when the gear unit is stationary. Additionally, at temperatures below zero
the motor pump assists the heat output of the heating elements.
•
Start the gear unit and allow it to run briefly (5 to 10 minutes) approx. every 3 weeks (during a shutdown
period no longer than 6 months).
•
Treat the gear unit with preservative, see items 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 (before a shutdown period exceeding
6 months). It should be locked to prevent it from turning.
7.3.1
Interior preservation with preservative agent during longer disuse
Before longer shutdown periods gear units with forcedlubrication systems, oil-circulation cooling and/or
noncontacting shaft seals should be filled with preservative agent and run without load.
