4.5 Transport and storage
4.5.1 Reference to chapter Safety instructions
When carrying out any work on the machine, observe the general safety instructions
(Page 13) and the specifications contained in EN 50110-1 regarding safe operation of
electrical equipment.
WARNING
Risk of dropping and swinging when transported suspended
If you transport the motor suspended from cables or ropes, the cables or ropes can break,
e.g. as a result of damage. Further, if not adequately attached, the motor can swing. This
can result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
•
Use additional, suitable lifting equipment for transport and during installation.
• Two cables alone must be able to carry the complete load.
•
Prevent the lifting equipment from sliding by appropriately securing it.
WARNING
Toppling over or slipping of the motor
The motor can slide or topple over if it is not correctly lifted or transported. This can result in
death, serious injury, or material damage.
• Use all the lifting eyes on the machine.
•
When using the lifting eyes on the machine, do not attach any additional loads or
weight. The lifting eyes are only designed for the weight of the machine itself.
• Any eyes that are screwed in must be tightly fastened.
•
Eyebolts must be screwed in right up to their supporting surface.
• Comply with the permissible eyebolt loads.
•
When necessary, use suitably dimensioned transport equipment, for example hoisting
straps (EN1492-1) and load restraints (EN12195-2).
4.5.2 Transporting certain frame sizes
Note
When lifting the machines for transport, only lift them in a position that corresponds to their
basic construction type.
