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 73). Tighten the fastening bolts and nuts
to the specified tightening torque. When tightening the fastening bolts, make sure that the
gear unit is free of mechanical stress.

5.3.2 Description of assembly work
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 and
mounting surfaces.
● Do not allow the cleaning agent to come into contact with the shaft-sealing rings.
● Use an assembly fixture to mount the input and output elements (e.g. coupling components)
onto the shafts and lock them securely.
● Do not use force (hammer blows, etc.) to fit the coupling components as this can cause
internal damage to the gear unit.
