3.3.2.1 General notes for storage up to 36 months
Store the gearbox or geared motor in dry, dust-free rooms that are maintained at a constant
temperature. Special packing is then not necessary.
If such premises are not available, pack the gearbox or the geared motor in plastic film or air-
tight sealed film and materials. The films and materials must be able to accept moisture.
Cover them to provide protection against heat, direct sunlight and rain.
The permissible ambient temperature is -25 °C to +50 °C.
The life of the corrosion protection is 36 months from delivery.
3.3.2.2 Gearbox filled with operating oil and anti-corrosive agent
NOTICE
Damage to the gearbox caused by incorrect oil quantities
Check the oil level before commissioning.
Observe the information and procedures for Checking the oil level (Page 74).
The gearbox is filled with oil corresponding to the mounting position so that it is ready for
operation, and is sealed airtight using a screw plug or with a pressure breather valve with
transport fixture.
For storage up to 36 months, a VCI anti-corrosion agent (
V olatile C orrosion I nhibitor) is
added.
3.3.2.3 Gearbox completely filled with oil
NOTICE
Damage to the gearbox caused by incorrect oil quantities
Prior to commissioning, remove excessive oil until it has the correct oil level.
Observe the information and procedures for Correcting the oil level (Page 74).
When biodegradable oils or oils for the food-processing sector are used, the gearbox is filled
completely with operating oil. The gearbox is closed air-tight with a sealing plug or a pressure
venting with transport fixture.
Do not lower the oil level during short-time commissioning for 10 minutes in no-load
operation.
