Fitting
Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!

General information on fitting
When transporting the gear unit observe the notes in section 4, "Transport and storage".
Fitting work must be done with great care by authorised, trained and qualified personnel. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and installation.
During the planning phase sufficient space must be allowed around the gear unit for later care and
maintenance work.
Free convection through the surface of the housing must be ensured by suitable measures.
If the gear unit is fitted with a fan, there should be sufficient space for air intake.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
During operation the unit must not be allowed to heat up through exposure to heat
from external sources such as sunlight, and suitable measures must be taken to
prevent this!
Such measures may be:
– fitting a sunshade roof
or
– fitting an additional cooling unit
or
– fitting the oil sump with a temperaturemonitoring device with a shutoff function.
If a sunshade roof is fitted, heat must be prevented from building up!
If a temperaturemonitoring device is fitted, a warning signal must be emitted when the
maximum permitted oilsump temperature is reached. If the maximum permitted
oilsump temperature is exceeded, the drive must be shut off.
Such shutting off may cause the operator's plant to stop!
The operator should ensure that no foreign bodies affect the proper function of the
gear unit (e.g. falling objects or heaping over).
No electrical welding work must be done at all on the drive system.
The drive systems must not be used as an earthing point for welding operations.
Toothed parts and bearings may be irreparably damaged by welding.
All the fastening points provided by the design of the unit must be used.
Screws which have been damaged during assembly or disassembly work must be
replaced with new ones of the same strength class and type.
To ensure proper lubrication during operation, the mounting position specified on the drawings
must always be observed.
For dimensions, space requirement and arrangement of the supply connections (on gear units
with oil cooling), refer to the drawings in the gearunit documentation.
