9.0 - REPLACING PARTS
•
Immediately replace parts and components if they are not able to guarantee safe and reliable ope
-
ration.
•
Never improvise repairs.
•
The use of non-original spare parts not only renders the warranty null and void but can jeopardise
the gear unit’s operation.
9.1 - REMOVING THE MOTOR
If during operation the mobile coupling between the motor and gear unit has not rusted significantly, it should
be possible to remove the motor without applying excessive force.
If instead, it proves difficult to remove the motor, do not use screwdrivers or levers to apply force as this may
damage the flanges and mating surfaces, but proceed as illustrated below.
1. Drill and thread the motor shaft (fan side).
2. Screw an impact extractor tool into the bore.
3. Undo the bolts fixing the motor to the gear unit.
4. Detach the motor by means of the inertial force of the extractor.
9.2 - DECOMMISSIONING THE GEAR UNIT
The unit must only be taken out of service by operators trained in the observance of applicable laws on he-
alth and safety at work.
Do not dump non-biodegradable products, lubricants and non-ferrous materials (rubber, PVC, resins, etc.)
into the environment. Dispose of all such materials as stipulated by established environmental legislation.
Do not re-use parts or components which appear to be in good condition after they have been chec
-
ked or replaced by qualified personnel and declared unsuitable for use.
