Safety instructions for installation
Injury and material damage caused by inappropriate fastening material
If screws of an incorrect property class have been selected or if they have been fastened to
an incorrect tightening torque, they may break or become loose. This will cause the machine
to move, which could damage the bearings. The rotor could smash into the machine
enclosure and machine parts could be flung out of place. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
●
Comply with the required property classes for screwed connections.
●
Tighten the screwed connections to the specified tightening torques.
Injury and material damage caused by incorrect machine alignment
If the machine has not been properly aligned, this will mean the fastening parts are subjected
to stress/distortion. Screws may become loose or break, the machine will move, machine
parts could be flung out of place. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
●
Carefully align the machine to the driven machine.
Material damage caused by improper handling
Mounting parts such as temperature sensors or speed sensors are attached to the machine
and could be ripped off or destroyed as a result of improper handling. This could lead to
machine malfunctions, extending even to total loss of the machine.
●
Where necessary, use suitable steps when performing installation work on the machine.
●
Do not stand on cables or attachments during installation. Do not use attachments as
steps.
5.2.3
Lift the machine to where it will be mounted and position it
●
For vertical installation, use all of the eyebolts provided and when necessary, hoisting
straps (DIN EN 1492-1) and/or lashing straps (DIN EN 12195-2) to stabilize the position
of the motor.
●
Prevent foreign bodies from falling into the fan cover. For vertical machine installation
with the shaft end facing downwards, attach a protective canopy.
●
If the shaft extension is facing upwards, the user must prevent liquid from moving along
the shaft and entering the motor.
●
Clean bare metal surfaces with anti-corrosion agent using white spirit to ensure proper
installation and / or machine mounting.
●
Do not obstruct the ventilation! Do not draw in the discharged air directly – also from
adjacent equipment.
