Preparations for installation
This chapter describes the preparation for installing this product.
Before designing the equipment, take care regarding the following precautions.
• When the reduction gear is used for human transportation equipment, install an effective safety unit
as a fail-safe mechanism, in case of an unexpected failure in the reduction gear.
• When the reduction gear is used for elevating equipment, install an effective safety unit for
preventing falls caused by idle running as a fail-safe mechanism, in case of an unexpected failure in
the reduction gear.
• Install an oil receiver, etc., to prevent damage in case of lubricant leakage due to a failure or lifetime
expiration.
• As this product may have residual rust prevention agent coated on it before shipping, wipe it off as
necessary.
When the reduction gear is used for human transportation equipment, install an effective safety unit
as a fail-safe mechanism, in case of an unexpected failure in the reduction gear. If you fail to install it,
it could cause injury in case the equipment goes out of control or falls off.
When the reduction gear is used for elevating equipment, install an effective safety unit for
preventing falls caused by idle running as a fail-safe mechanism, in case of an unexpected failure in
the reduction gear. If you fail to install it, it could cause injury in case the elevating unit falls off.
4.1. Installation environment
