6.2
Set-up conditions
As early as during the planning phase, sufficient space must be allowed around the gear unit for later care
and maintenance work.
Note
It must be ensured that the oil can be drained and an adequate air supply is provided. It must be
possible to check the internal parts through the holes in the inspection hole covers.
Upstream and downstream machines have to be arranged accordingly.
If the pipes connecting the gear unit and oil-supply system are included in the Siemens delivery, the
installation plan is enclosed with the documentation.
6.2.1
Dimensions and weights
Refer to the drawings in the gear unit documentation and the order-specific data sheet for details regarding
weight and further technical data.
6.2.2
Lifting device
Adequate lifting gear must be available before beginning the fitting work.
The load-bearing capacity of the lifting gear used or to be installed must correspond at least to the weight
of the product that is to be transported (for details see section 1. "Technical data").
Refer to section 4. "Transport and storage", for notes regarding transport.
6.3
Preparatory measures for gear unit installation
NOTICE
Property damage
Damage to the gear unit from corrosion is possible.
The packaging must not be opened or damaged beforehand if the packaging is part of the preservation.
The products supplied are listed in the dispatch papers. Check for completeness immediately on receipt.
Parts damaged and/or missing parts must be immediately reported in writing to Siemens.
•
Before installation of the gear unit in the vertical mill, remove the packaging material and transport
equipment, and dispose of it according to regulations.
•
Perform a visual check for damages and soiling.
Note
Adhesive tapes on the labyrinths and the round cord hollow profile between the gear unit housing and
the output flange may only be removed directly before the start-up.
WARNING
Serious personal injury can be caused by a defective product
If there is any visible damage, the gear unit must not be taken into operation.
The instructions in section 4. "Transport and storage" must be observed.
NOTICE
Property damage
Corrosion is possible when the gear unit is opened for too long.
Any opening of the gear unit (e.g. by removing the adhesive tape on the input shaft or on the output
flange, removing the round cord hollow profile, or by opening a lid) reduces the guaranteed
preservation period. If the gear unit is opened, it must be taken into operation within one week. If the
start-up is delayed, special measures are necessary to maintain preservation (see item 6.3.1).
