4.1 Shipment and packaging
Checking the delivery for completeness
The drive systems are assembled on an individual basis. Upon receipt of the delivery, check
immediately whether the items delivered are in accordance with the accompanying
documents. Siemens will not accept any claims relating to items missing from the delivery
and which are submitted at a later date.
● Report any apparent transport damage to the delivery agent immediately.
● Report any apparent defects/missing components to the appropriate Siemens office
immediately.
A second rating plate is included in the scope of delivery and can be positioned in the vicinity
of the motor as an additional means of making the motor data available.
4.2 Transportation and storage
4.2.1 Transporting
Use suitable load suspension devices when transporting and installing the motor. Country-
specific regulations must be observed.
If the motor is not to be commissioned immediately following delivery, it must be stored in a
dry, dust-free room that is not susceptible to vibration (see the chapter titled "Storage").
WARNING
Hazards when lifting and transporting!
Devices and tools that are badly designed, unsuitable, or damaged can result in personal
injury and/or material damage.
Lifting devices, ground conveyors, and load suspension devices must comply with
regulations. Pay attention to the maximum capacity of the hoisting gear. Do not attach any
additional loads. To lift the motor, use suitable cable-guidance or spreading equipment
(particularly if additional components are mounted in or on the motor). The weight of the
motor is specified on the rating plate.
WARNING
Transporting and lifting the motor by means of the lifting eyebolts
Only lift the motor using the lifting eyebolts on the end shields. Lifting eyebolts must not be
attached to the shaft extension. The motor must not be lifted or transported by means of the
power connector, signal connector, or Sensor Module.
