General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the drive from
dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe cap, safety
glasses, protective gloves, etc.
• Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the dimension
drawings.
• Secure the drive cabinet to the floor to prevent it from toppling over. The cabinet has a
high center of gravity. When you pull out heavy components or power modules, there
is a risk of overturning. Secure the cabinet also to the wall when necessary.
• Be careful when handling a tall module. The module overturns easily because it is heavy
and has a high center of gravity. Whenever possible, secure the module with chains.
Do not leave an unsupported module unattended especially on a sloping floor.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors, and
brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all driven
equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
