Operating and servicing instructions
7 / 24
•
Oil drain and oil level gauge must be easily accessible.
•
The gearbox is to be protected from strong sunlight so avoid over-heating.
•
During transport, it is imperative that the instructions in section 5.2 are observed.
•
Bangs and knocks are to be avoided, as these can damage shafts, bearings, gears and seals.
6.2
Foundation
•
The gearbox is to be installed on a flat, rigid and torsionally stiff foundation. The foundation
must be designed such that there are no resonances and no vibration/shocks can be picked up
from other foundations. When installing the gearbox, it is imperative that the directive VDI 2726
"Ausrichten von Getrieben" (Aligning Gearboxes) is observed.
•
Prior to installation, the underside of the gearbox feet and the foundation frame are to be
cleaned.
•
The gearbox is, depending on the type, to be attached to the foundation at all the fastening
points provided for this purpose.
•
It is imperative that the mounting position agreed in the order is maintained. An incorrect
mounting position can result in inadequate lubrication and thus to complete failure.
•
Fastening bolts must have a minimum strength class of 8.8.
•
The gearbox is not allowed to be placed under stress when the fastening bolts are tightened.
•
The alignment of the gearbox must be re-checked after tightening the fastening bolts.
•
If external forces act on the gearbox, it is appropriate to prevent movement using lateral stops.
•
All fastening features on the gearbox are to be utilized.
6.3
Shafts
•
The coating of conservation agent applied to the shafts is to be entirely removed using an ap-
propriate, approved cleaning agent. During this process appropriate ventilation is to be pro-
vided. ATENTION, risk of explosion.
•
It is to be ensured that the shaft sealing rings are not wet with the solvent when removing the
conservation agent, as otherwise leaks may result.
•
Input and output parts (e.g. couplings) are to be tightened and locked. Here suitable devices are
to be used. Shaft seals and their contact areas on the shaft must not be damaged.
•
Fitting couplings or other attachment parts by hitting or striking is not allowed as this can result
in damage to the bearings, gears and seals.
•
If heating is necessary for fitting attachment parts, this can be performed inductively, with a gas
torch, or in an oven. It is to be ensured that the shaft seals are protected from damage and from
heating to more than +100°C during this process.
