6.3.2 Description of fitting work
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Danger to life through ignition of solventagent vapours or any other potentially explosive atmosphere
during cleaning work.
The gear unit must not be cleaned in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Observe also the following:
– Avoid ignition sources.
– Do not smoke.
– Ensure adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Risk of injury through moving plant parts
After having stopped the motor, there is a danger that the load is not safely held in its position and can
run in reverse direction at high speed.
The slipping torque was set at the correct value at the works; it must not be changed.
• Remove the anticorrosive agent from the shafts using a suitable cleaning agent.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through chemical substances
Observe manufacturer’s instructions for handling lubricants and solvents.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the shaftsealing rings through chemically aggressive cleaning agents.
The cleaning agent must in no way be allowed to come into contact with the shaftsealing rings.
• The screw plugs and/or sealing flanges must be removed, and the fittings supplied separately must be
fitted to the system according to the drawings in the gearunit documentation.
• Fit and secure drive elements (e.g. coupling parts) on shafts.
If these are to be fitted in heated condition, refer to the dimensioned drawings in the coupling
documentation for the correct joining temperatures.
Unless specified otherwise, the components may be heated inductively, with a burner, or in a furnace.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Risk of serious injury through burns on hot surfaces (> 55 °C).
Wear suitable protective gloves and protective clothing.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the shaftsealing rings through heating to over 100 °C.
Use heat shields to protect against radiant heat.
