Transport and storage
STOBER products are packaged carefully and delivered ready for installation. The type of packaging depends on the product
size and the transport method.
Observe the following information during transport and storage:
§
Inspect the delivery for any transport damage immediately upon receiving it and report any transport damage
immediately. Do not put damaged products into operation.
§
Check your delivery for completeness using the delivery note and report any missing parts to the supplier.
§
Transport and store the product in the original packaging in order to protect it from damage. Remove the original
packaging and transport safety devices shortly before assembly.
Ambient conditions
The ambient conditions for transport and storage can be found in the chapter

Transport
WARNING!
Suspended loads!
Loads that become loose and fall during the lifting process can cause serious injuries or even death!
▪
Observe the instructions in this chapter.
▪
Cordon off the danger zone and ensure that no one stands under the suspended loads.
▪
Wear safety shoes.
Lifting and transporting the drive may require lifting gear (e.g. a crane), depending on the weight. The weight of your drive
is specified in the accompanying delivery documents.
Lift and transport the drive as follows:
§
Use lifting gear with a sufficient lifting capacity for the weight of the drive.
§
Run hoist slings directly around the drive housing and secure the hoist slings from slipping.
In order to prevent the drive from falling or getting damaged during transport, observe the following:
§
Do not lift or fasten the drive on the output shaft or attached parts.
§
Fasten the motor installed on the gear unit as well and make sure that there is no diagonal pull.

Long-term storage
If you would like to store the drive for longer than 6 months, take the following steps to prevent corrosion damage:
1.
Apply a suitable corrosion protection agent to unpainted surfaces, such as shaft ends or flange contact surfaces.
2.
Completely fill the gear unit with lubricant. The lubricant specification can be found by entering the serial number of
the gear unit at
or by scanning the QR code on the nameplate of the gear unit.
Before commissioning the gear unit, reduce the lubricant fill volume to the fill volume that is specified on the nameplate of
the gear unit.
