INSTALLATION MANUAL
4 Installation
Installation of the motor gearbox and adjustment of the limit switches may only be carried out by qualified staff (see
Section 1.5).
4.1 Installation positions and vent plug
Consider the following points when determining the installation position:
• For both side mount and foot mount configurations, use M10 bolts with a strength class of at least 8.8
threaded into the motor gearbox by 10 to 15 mm;
• Maintain a clearance of approximately 500 mm above the black cover for adjusting the limit switches;
• When mounted in a dusty or humid space, the motor gearbox must be fitted in a suitable enclosure;
• Keep approximately 300 mm of space free behind the motor so that in the event of power failure the motor
gearbox can be operated manually or with a drill (maximum speed 250 rpm) using the hex socket in the end of
the motor shaft.
Every gear unit is pre-filled during manufacture with the correct type and quantity of oil. Every gear unit is also
fitted with two plastic screw plugs. The higher of the two plugs in the selected installation position must be replaced
by the supplied red vent plug, with the supplied gasket fitted behind the vent plug.
4.2 Mounting the motor gearbox
The motor gearbox is normally coupled to the load bGy a chain coupling to the drive shaft. See the details below
for maximum torques and maximum alignment error.
Warning!
● Do not exceed the maximum rated torque of chain couplings and accessories.
● The load must be distributed evenly over both ends of the shaft. Preferably fit the drive unit in the middle
of the drive train.
●
The maximum angle a chain coupling is allowed to make must remain below the specified value.
