6. Transport, Storage and Long-Term Storage
6.1 Transport
Any work regarding transport, storage, siting, installation, commissioning, operation, service and maintenance
must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
Any damage identified after delivery must be communicated
IMMEDIATELY
to the transport company, if
appropriate, commissioning / activation must be excluded.
The gearbox must be transported in such a way that personal injuries and damage to the gearbox are avoided.
Danger
:
Immediate danger with serious bodily injury as a consequence
(Here risk of crushing for bodies or body parts)
Transportation must only be effected by means of suitable means of transportation intended for this purpose.
When attaching to eyebolts, this may only be carried out at the bores provided with approved and sufficiently
dimensioned lifting gear. No diagonal pull must arise.
Plant-specific provisions and requirements must be complied with.
Relevant national and regional regulations for safety, accident prevention and environmental protection must be
complied with.
6.2 Storage Conditions
EvoGear
gearboxes may only be put into storage in a closed condition, in a dry, dust-free and low-vibration
environment (avoidance of standstill damage) without sunlight at temperatures between -25°C and +50°C.
Serial gearboxes can be stored for up to 1 year in this manner.
6.3 Long-Term Storage
If storage is intended to extend for mo
re than 1 year, the version “for long-term storage” is recommended.
These gearboxes can be stored for a maximum period of 5 years.
External preservation is carried out by applying a permanent preserving agent.
Internal preservation is carried out with a PAO-based synthetic gear oil.
It is recommended to turn the gearboxes at regular intervals to ensure that the bearings do not become stuck
(seize up); rotating the gearboxes in this way also counteracts the possible occurrence of any standstill
markings and the shaft seal rings do not stick and/or become brittle.
6.4 Commissioning after Long-Term Storage
If commissioning is carried out before the expiry of the 5 years, the function of the gearbox is assured.
If commissioning is carried out later than 5 years after being put into storage, the roller bearings, sealing
elements and gear oil must all be replaced.
For this purpose it is probably best if you return the gearbox to our Service Department.
