Standard coating and preservation
The gear unit is provided with an interior preservative agent; the free shaft ends are painted for protection.
The characteristics of the external coat depend on the ambient conditions stipulated in the order relating
to method of transport and area of application.
The gear unit is normally delivered completely ready, with a priming and a finish coat.
Where gear units are delivered with a priming coat only, it is necessary to apply a finish
coat in accordance with directives applying to the specific application.
The priming coat alone is not suitable to provide a sufficient longterm corrosion
protection.
Ensure that the coat is not damaged!
Any damage may cause failure of the external protective coating and corrosion.
Unless otherwise contractually agreed, the durability period of the interior gearunit
preservation specified in table 3 or 4 will apply, provided the related requirements are adhered
to. The durability period for the exterior preservation and the related requirements can be found
in table 5.
The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery or that of the notice that the item is ready
for shipment.
In case of a storage period other than that indicated in table 3 or 4 and in table 5, the interior and the exterior
preservation must be checked and, as necessary, be repeated (see items 7.3.1 and 7.3.2).
