Warning!
Hazardous electrical current!
Ensure protection against explosions!
Before installing
Make sure that device cannot be switched on again by accident.
Switch off the power to the device.
Make sure that the device is de-energized.
Connect to earth and short out.
Cover or close off any neighboring live parts with a barrier.
Follow carefully the assembly instructions provided for the device.
Only qualified personnel as per EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105, part 100) can perform any work on this de-
vice/system.
The electrical connections are to be made as per the relevant specifications (e.g. cross-section of the supply
line, fuses, protective connection).
Opening the motor - save for the terminal box - during the warranty period without the manufacturer's permission
shall lead to the termination of the warranty.
Original spare parts are to be used for the approved repairs or repairs not falling under the warranty.
Live and rotating parts of electrical motors can cause major or deadly injuries.
Any shipping, installation, start-up and maintenance works are to be carried out only by qualified personnel (fol-
low carefully any regulations on explosion protection such as EN 60079-14 and EN 50821-1-2 as well as any
other national accident prevention regulations).
As regards any equipment subject to these guidelines, it is important to adopt the necessary safety precautions
to protect the personnel against possible injuries.
The personnel must be duly instructed to proceed with caution and according to regulations during shipping,
hoisting, and positioning and while repairing the motor.
Do not lift the motor together with the drive equipment by the motor lifting eyebolts.
Do not use the supplied lifting eye bolts at ambient temperatures below –20°C, in accordance with DIN 580.
Lower temperatures could lead to the ring screws breaking and consequent breaking and consequent injury to
personnel and/ or damage to the installation.
Do not load the eyebolts as per DIN 580 no more than 45° compared to the screwing direction. The use of
crossbeams is recommended. See the operating instructions for the layout dimensions of the lifting eyebolts and
the minimum dimensions of the loading crossbeams and chain lengths.
In the case of motors with built-in brake appropriate safety measures are to be adopted against the possible
failure of the brake especially in applications involving the pulling of loads.
Operating the motor with the supplied shaft protection cover alone is forbidden.
Contact with the capacitor for the start-up and running of single-phase motors is to be avoided until the unload-
ing procedure is carried out securely.
If a high-voltage test is necessary, the procedures and precautionary measures set forth in accident prevention
regulations are to be followed.
