Transportation/storage
Before transporting the gear unit, observe the safety notes in chapter Transportation and the following information.
- The weight of the gear unit (without oil) is indicated on the nameplate or on the dimension sheet. Observe the loads and regulations specified there.
- If possible, transport the gear unit while it contains no oil. If this is not possible, note that the weight information on the nameplate specifies only the no-load weight of the gear unit.
- For gear units with non-contact gasket and oil filling prior to delivery, ensure transport in horizontal mounting position.
- For gear units with a fan, the specified attachment points [1] might be inaccessible because of the fan guard. In this case, remove the fan guard before transporting the gear unit. Before starting up the fan, make sure that the fan guard is mounted properly.
- Only use the specified attachment points [1] to transport the gear unit, see the following illustrations and the order documents. The load handling devices of the motor or mount-on components are provided for stabilization purposes only.
- Make sure that the lifting eyebolts are screwed in completely and are flush with the contact surface. Tighten the lifting eyebolts at least hand-tight. Observe the following information.
