6.2
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.
6.3
Fitting the gear unit by housing with base plate
6.3.1
Foundation
The foundation must be horizontal and level. The gear unit must not be excessively stressed when
tensioning the fastening bolts.
The foundation should be designed in such a way that no resonance vibrations are created and that no
vibrations are transmitted from adjacent foundations. The structure on which the unit is to be fitted must
be rigid. It must be designed according to the weight and torque, taking into account the forces acting on
the gear unit.
Careful alignment with the machine on the in and output side must be ensured. Any elastic deformation
through operating forces must be taken into consideration.
Fastening bolts or nuts must be tightened to the prescribed torque. For the correct
torque, refer to item 6.17. Bolts of the minimum strength class 8.8 must be used.
If external forces are acting upon the gear unit, it is advisable to prevent the unit from displacement by
means of lateral stops.
For dimensions, space requirement and arrangement of supply connections, refer to the
drawings in the gearunit documentation.

Description of installation work
•
Remove the corrosionpreventive agent on the shafts using a suitable cleaning agent.
The cleaning agent must not be allowed to come into contact with the shaftsealing
rings.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not smoke.
Danger of explosion!
•
Fit and secure input drive elements (e.g. coupling parts) on shafts.
If these are to be heated before fitting, refer to the dimensioned drawings in the coupling documentation
for the correct joining temperatures.
Unless specified otherwise, the components may be heated inductively, with a burner, or in a furnace.
Take precautions to avoid burns from hot parts!
Wear suitable protective gloves!
Protect shaftsealing rings from damage and heating to over + 100 °C
(use heatprotective screens to protect against radiant heat).
