components
• Damage to shafts, gears and bearings
• Store the gear unit in his original packing.
• Long term storage: see chapter 4.
• Condensation not possible in the repository
• Corrosion of gear unit parts and

• Overload on high speed shaft & low speed
shaft couplings, bearings and shafts
• Vibrations: damage to shafts, gears,
bearings and couplings
• Balancing of couplings
• Correct positioning of mounting feet on
bedplate by shimming
• Vibrations: damage to shafts, gears,
bearings and couplings
• Rupture of mounting feet
• Distortion of gear unit
• Correct tightening of fixation & motor bolts
• Retorque after 50 to 100 hours of first
operation.
• Smooth mounting of couplings and brakes
onto shafts, never use impact.
• Loosening of bolts and displacement of the
gear unit -> misalignment -> ...
• Damage to bearings
• Lift and handle gear unit by special lifting
eyes.
Never lift it by the shafts.
• Damage to bearings
Note: This quick reference for handling the gear unit is not exhaustive.
The obligation to read the complete service manual remains.
