Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions", in section 9, "Faults, causes and remedy", and
in section 10, "Maintenance and repair"!
8.1 General
To achieve a satisfactory and troublefree operation of the equipment, be certain to observe the working
values specified in section 1, "Technical Data".
The coating must not carry an electrostatic charge!
The operator must ensure that highly effective mechanisms which can set up a charge
in the coating are safely avoided.
During operation the gear unit must be monitored for:
Operating temperature
The maximum permitted temperature is:
90 °C (applies to mineral oil)
At higher temperatures the gear unit must be shut
down immediately and Siemens customer service
consulted.
Changes in gear noise
Possible oil leakage at the housing and shaft seals
Bearing vibrations with present measuring sequence
Correct oil level (see section 7, "Startup")
If any irregularities are noticed during operation, switch the drive assembly off at once.
Determine the cause of the fault, using the table in section 9.
If any safety device has triggered, it must only be possible to start the drive again after
releasing the reclosing interlock.
The troubleshooting table contains a list of possible faults, their causes and
suggested remedies.
If the cause cannot be found, a specialist from one of our customerservice centres
should be called in (see section 2).
