3. Prescribed Use
The intended use of the gearboxes of the series
QuarryMaster
Ò
comprises
the
drive
of
continuous materials handling equipment. The
material to be conveyed is assumed to be sand
and pebble stones under normal conditions. The
gears are operated in free ambient air. In the
event of different applications, materials to be
conveyed and ambient conditions, special
design features may be required in individual
cases. Please consult us in such cases.
The above-mentioned product is intended for
installation in a machine. It may not be
commissioned until it has been ascertained that
the machine in which the above-mentioned
product is to be installed complies with the
conditions of the EC guideline on machinery.
The
product
may
only
be
used
for
the
technically
designed
purpose
agreed.
The
product may not be operated with outputs,
torques or external loads which exceed the
structural
design
(see
technical
data
and
catalogue).
Installation and commissioning may only be
carried out by properly qualified personnel.
Any applicable national, local and plant-specific
conditions and requirements concerning the
prevention of accidents must be observed.
Qualified personnel are those persons who, on
the basis of their training, experience and
instruction, along with their knowledge of
relevant standards, conditions, regulations for
the prevention of accidents and operating
conditions, have been authorized by the person
responsible for the safety of the plant to carry

4. Transport and Storage
Transport
For risk-free handling, the hoisting lugs and
pegs or threaded bore-holes provided must
be used. Hoisting lugs and similar aids
attached to the gears are designed only for
the weight of the gear and may not be used
for raising extension components such as
motors, drum shafts or similar. Only use
suitable
and
technically
faultless
lifting
equipment and load suspension devices (e.g.
ropes,
eye
bolts
etc.)
with
sufficient
load-bearing capacity. See indication of
weight in the technical data or on the name
plate. The indications of weight must be
regarded as approximate weights.
Do not remain or work under suspended
loads!
Storage
Storage from delivery to commissioning should
be in dry, dust-free and vibration-free. Enquiries
should be addressed to Stiebel in the case of
differing storage conditions.
Protection against Corrosion
The standard preservation of the shafts, hollow
shafts etc. is effective for one year maximum
under the above-mentioned conditions. It is not
suitable for outside storage.
