DANGER! 

Rotating machinery can lead to injury. There is danger of being trapped or pulled in! 

 

Keep a sufficient distance to rotating machinery. 

Maintenance 

DANGER! 

An unintentional start of the machine during maintenance work can lead to serious accidents. 

 

Make sure no one can start the machine while you are working on it. 

 

Secure the machine against restarting and unintentional movements during assembly 
maintenance work. 

 

DANGER! 

Even a brief running of the machine during maintenance work can lead to accidents if the 
safety devices are not operating. 

 

Make sure that all safety devices are mounted and active. 

Lubricants 

DANGER! 

Extended, intensive contact with synthetic oils can lead to skin irritations. 

 

Avoid extended contact with oil, and clean oil off skin thoroughly. 

 

DANGER! 

Hot oil may cause scalding. 

 

When changing oil, protect yourself against contacting hot oil. 

 

Attention 

Mixing different lubricants can impair the lubricant properties. This can destroy the gearbox. 

 

Only re-fill with the lubricant type that is in the gearbox. 

 

If you wish to use another lubricant, carry out a complete oil change (with flushing). 

 

Environment 

Lubricants (oils and greases) are hazardous substances, which can contaminate soil and 
water. 

 

Collect drained lubricant into suitable receptacles and dispose of it according to the valid 
national guidelines. 

3.4  Tightening Torques 

All screwed connections for which a tightening torque is specified, must on principle be 
tightened with a calibrated torque wrench, and checked. 

3.5  In case of fire 

The gearbox itself is not combustible. However, it usually contains a synthetic gear oil 
(polyglycol). 

 

Please observe the following instructions, if the gearbox is situated in a burning 
environment. 

3.5.1  Suitable extinguishing agents, Protective equipment 

Carbon dioxide, powder, foam, fog 

DANGER! 

High temperatures produce irritating steam. 

 

Use a protective breathing apparatus. 

 

3.5.2  Unsuitable extinguishing agents 

Do not spray with water!
