5.3 Installing the machine
5.3.1 Preparing the assembly area
1. Prepare a suitable assembly area (e.g. assembly stands). Make sure that the assembly area 
has sucient clearance from the oor for the DE shaft end. The necessary data is provided 
in the machine dimension drawing.
2. Refer to the shipping documents to check that all motor components are available for 
assembly.
5.3.2 Lift the machine to where it will be mounted and position it
• For vertical installation, use all the eyebolts provided and when necessary, hoisting straps 
according to EN1492-1 and/or lashing straps according to EN12195-2 to stabilize the 
position.
• Prevent foreign bodies from falling into the fan cover. For vertical machine installation with 
the shaft end facing downwards, attach a protective canopy. 
• If the shaft extension is facing upwards, the user must prevent liquid from moving along the 
shaft and entering the motor.
• Clean bare metal surfaces with anti-corrosion agent using mineral spirits to ensure proper 
installation and/or machine mounting.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation. Do not draw in the hot discharged air directly – also from 
adjacent equipment.
• Avoid exposing them to direct, intense solar radiation, rain, snow, ice, or also dust for 
extended periods. Attach a covering structure or an additional cover when using or storing 
outdoors.  
• Do not exceed the permissible axial and radial forces.
• When clouds or layers of dust are present, strictly maintain the temperature limits according 
to EN/IEC 60079-14. The maximum surface temperature is stamped on the rating plate for 
dust explosion-proof motors.
