Transportation
Inspect the shipment for damage as soon as you receive the delivery. Inform the shipping company immediately about any damage. If the product is damaged, it must not be assembled, installed or started up.
Observe the following information to avoid danger.
- Secure the gear unit against falling over during the lifting process.
- Use suitable, adequately dimensioned, and undamaged means of transportation.
- Secure mount-on components, such as keys.
- When selecting the lifting equipment and crane, consider the dimensions of the gear unit, the center of gravity, and the mass to be moved. The mass of the gear unit is indicated on the nameplate. The specifications are without oil. The mass to be moved equals the total weight of the drive package including all mount-on components (not only the weight of the gear unit).
- Transport the gear unit in such a way that damage to the gear unit and mount-on components is avoided.
- Make sure that the oil level in the gear unit is not too high. If the oil level is too high and the temperature rises, lubricant may escape from the breather.
