6.0 - TESTING THE GEAR UNIT
The gear unit has been factory tested by the Manufacturer. Befare start-up, make sure that:
• the machina incorporating the gear unit complies with the provisions
of
the "Machinery Directive" 98/37/EC
and any other applicable safety legislation
• the gear unit's mounting position
in
the installation corresponds to that prescribed and indicated
on
the na-
meplate
• the electrical power supply is suitable and operational as prescribed in EN 60204-1, and is grounded as
per EN 50014
• the motor's electric power supply corresponds to that prescribed and is within +/-5%
of
the rated value
• the hydraulic system is suitable and operational, and the oil
in
the hydraulic motor's lubrication circuit con-
forms to ISO
VG
46. It must be filtered with a maximum grade
of
10
µmand
contamination level less than
or
equal to class 9 as per NAS 1638
or
18/15 as per ISO/DIS 4406
• there are no signs of lubricant leaks from the plugs or gaskets
• the vent plug is not obstructed by dirt or paint
• the unit does not run noisily
or
with excessive vibration.
Before starting up the unit, check and make sure that:
• the unit is not assembled in a potentially explosive atmosphere (oil, acid, gas, vapour, radia-
tion) and is free
of
dust build ups greater than 5 mm in depth
• during operation the gear unit is sufficiently ventilated and is not subject to radiation from exter-
nal heat sources
• during operation the cooling air does not exceed 40 °C
• the oil level check and filler plugs and the vent plugs are all easily accessible
• all accessories mounted to the gear unit are A TEX certified
• gear units with hollow shafts, with
or
without shrink disk, have been correctly mounted as de-
scribed in this manual
• the gear unit has been thoroughly cleaned
atter installation
• all guards are installed to prevent accidental contact between operators and the unit's rotary
moving parts, and seals are oil tight

The gear unit may not be used
in
areas and environments:
• with highly corrosive/abrasive vapours, smoke or dust.
•
in
direct contact with loose faod produets.
Danger zones and exposed persons:
The danger zone
of
the gear unit is the protrusion
of
the shaft which constitutes a hazard for exposed
persons
in
direct contact with it (crushing, shearing, trapping).
In
particular, when the gear unit is
operating in automatic mode in
an
accessible area, the shaft must be protected by a guard.
