CAUTION
Risk of injury due to chemically aggressive operating materials
There is a risk of injury to eyes and hands when handling chemically aggressive operating
materials.
Please observe the safety instructions in the data sheets of the oil used. Wear suitable
protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles). Remove any spilt oil immediately with an
oil-binding agent.
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 hollow shaft
and the machine shaft.
• Inspect the hollow shaft and machine shaft for damaged seats and edges.
• If necessary, rework the components with an appropriate tool and then clean them
again.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to shaft sealing rings
Aggressive chemical cleaning agents may cause damage to shaft sealing rings.
Do not allow the cleaning agent to come into contact with the shaft-sealing rings.
Information
The bore of the hollow shaft and the machine shaft must be free of any grease
Make sure that the hollow shaft bore and the machine shaft are completely free of grease in
the area around the shrink disk seat. The reliability with which torque is transmitted de-
pends to a large extent on this.
Do not use any contaminated solvents or soiled cleaning cloths, nor any cleaning agents
that contain oil (such as petroleum or turpentine) to degrease the surfaces.
