Measures
Once all the components have been assembled or connected, perform the following final work:
● Check whether all devices dismantled for transportation have been reassembled.
● Check all bolt connections for tightness after installation of the gear unit has been
completed.
● Check the alignment after tightening the fastening elements. The alignment must not have
changed in any way.
● Lock the oil drain valves against accidental opening.
● Protect the gear unit against falling objects.
● Check that the guards over rotating parts are securely fastened.
Contact (accidental or deliberate) with rotating parts is not permitted.
● Perform potential equalisation in accordance with the applicable regulations and guidelines.
If no threaded holes are available on the gear unit for an earth connection, please take
suitable alternative measures. This work must always be done by specialist electricians.
● Protect the cable entries against penetrating moisture.
Further information
Further information about the gear unit and all assembled elements can be found in the
operating instructions for assembled elements in the complete documentation for the gear unit.
