Installation/assembly and inspection/maintenance

There is a risk of personal injury or damage to property during installation and assembly and during inspection and maintenance. Observe the following information to avoid danger.

• Install/mount the gear unit only in the specified mounting position on a level, vibration-damping, and torsionally rigid support structure. Do not twist housing feet and mounting flanges against each other.
• Do not mount any impermissible components to the gear unit. Mounting impermissible components may lead to material failure at the gear unit. This may cause the gear unit to fall over or fall down.
• Protect the user’s machine against unintentional movement when installing or removing the gear unit.
• The seals must not come into contact with aggressive cleaning agents as this may damage the seals.
• Refer to the nameplate for information regarding the gear oil.
• Do not mix oils from different manufacturers and of different types.
• Check whether lubricant is leaking from the gear unit or the mount-on components.
• Immediately remove any leaked lubricant with a binding agent.
