CAUTION
⇒ Avoid mechanical stressing, throwing, tipping or dropping of the products.

⇒ Use suitable protective equipment and protective clothing during transport;
wear safety shoes.
⇒ Protect the products from dampness and corrosion.
Also observe the notes regarding storage and transport on the packages
Gearboxes
The gearboxes are typically supplied in recyclable cardboard boxes with carton
for shaped elements.
It is recommended to store the gearboxes in their original packaging in a hori‐
zontal position until the are ready for use. The permissible temperature range
for short-term storage or transport is –20°C up to +80°C.
For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the gearboxes in a dry en‐
vironment with temperatures from 0°C to +30°C. The gearboxes can be stored
over a period of maximum 2 years under these conditions.
Avoid direct insolation, UV light and ozone because it leads to deterioration of
the sealants.
We recommend using a FIFO system - ”First-in, first-out”.
Remove all the anticorrosive on the gearboxes before mounting
them.
The GTE gearboxes are filled-for-life with lubrication and are ready for use. The
input and output are treated with anticorrosive coating.
Do not proceed cleaning via air pressure!
NOTICE
The danger consists that overpressure within the gearbox can occur which
negatively influences the function and lifetime of the gearbox.
Motor-Gearbox-Combination
The following conditions must be kept during transport and handling:
●
Use the appropriate means for transport. Take the weight of the compo‐
nents into consideration (weights are specified in the appropriate ”Tech‐
nical Data” chapters of the various motors and gearboxes and/or on the
type label of the motor).
●
Transport the motor-gearbox combination only in the horizontal position.
●
To lift the motor-gearbox combinations use a crane and lifting sling belts
●
Avoid damage to the motor flange and drive shaft.
●
Avoid impacts on the gearbox drive shaft.
●
Remove the protective cover on the gearbox output shaft just before
mounting.
