• Align the foundation carefully with the equipment installed on the input and output sides of
the gear unit.
• Take into account any elastic deformation that may be caused by operating forces.
• Install lateral stops to prevent displacement if external forces are acting on the gear unit.
NOTICE
Lack of stable foundation for the gear unit
Damage to the gear unit is possible if it is not mounted on a stable foundation.
Use bolts of at least strength class 8.8. Information and guidance on the tightening torque can
be found in chapter Tightening procedure (Page 90). Tighten the fastening bolts and nuts to
the specied tightening torque. When tightening the fastening bolts, make sure that the gear
unit is free of mechanical stress.
Further information
Further information about dimensions, space requirements and arrangement of supply
connections can be found in the complete documentation for the gear unit.

Measures to be taken prior to assembly
CAUTION
Risk of chemical burns due to chemical substances
There is a risk of chemical burns when handling aggressive cleaning agents.
Please observe the manufacturer's guidelines on how to handle cleaning agents and solvents.
Wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles). Please use binding agents to
immediately clear up any spilt solvent.
WARNING
Risk of burns
There is a risk of serious burn injury from hot surfaces (> 55 °C).
Wear suitable protective gloves and protective clothing.
Improper use can damage the gear unit. Be sure to take the following precautions:
• Use a suitable cleaning agent to remove the corrosion protection from the shafts.
• Do not allow the cleaning agent to come into contact with the shaft-sealing rings.
• Mount the input elements (e.g. coupling parts) on the shafts and lock them securely.
