6.0 TESTING THE GEAR UNIT
The gear unit has been factory tested by the Manufacturer. Before start-up, make sure that:
• this partly completed machinery must not be put into service until the nal machinery into which
it is to be incorporated has been declared in conformity with the provisions of the “Machinery
Directive” 2006/42/EC
• the gear unit’s mounting position in the installation corresponds to that prescribed and indicated
on the nameplate
• the electrical power supply is suitable and operational as prescribed in EN 60204-1, and is
grounded as per EN 50014
•
the motor’s electric power supply corresponds to that prescribed and is within +/-5% of the rated value
• the hydraulic system is suitable and operational, and the oil in the hydraulic motor’s lubrication
circuit conforms to ISO VG 46. It must be ltered with a maximum grade of 10 µm and contamina-
tion level less than or equal to class 9 as per NAS 1638 or 18/15 as per ISO/DIS 4406
• there are no signs of lubricant leaks from the plugs or gaskets
• the vent plug is not obstructed by dirt or paint
• the unit does not run noisily or with excessive vibration.
Before starting up the unit, check and make sure that:
• the unit is not assembled in a potentially explosive atmosphere (oil, acid, gas, vapour, radiation)
and is free of dust build ups greater than 5 mm in depth
• during operation the gear unit is sufciently ventilated and is not subject to radiation from exter-
nal heat sources
• the temperature of the cooling air does not exceed the values indicated in the chapter “AL-
LOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS”.
• the oil level check and ller plugs and the vent plugs are all easily accessible
• all accessories mounted to the gear unit are ATEX certied
• gear units with hollow shafts, with or without shrink disk, have been correctly mounted as de-
scribed in this manual
• the gear unit has been thoroughly cleaned after installation
• all guards are installed to prevent accidental contact between operators and the unit’s rotary
moving parts, and seals are oil tight
7.0 USING THE EQUIPMENT
Before putting the gear unit into service, the User must ensure that the plant in which it is installed
complies with all applicable directives, especially those regarding health and safety at work.
The gear unit may not be used in areas and environments:
• with highly corrosive/abrasive vapours, smoke or dust.
• in direct contact with loose food products.
Danger zones and exposed persons:
The danger zone of the gear unit is the protrusion of the shaft which constitutes a hazard for ex-
posed persons in direct contact with it (crushing, shearing, trapping). In particular, when the gear
unit is operating in automatic mode in an accessible area, the shaft must be protected by a guard.
