5.3 Mounting and installed 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 su󹪟cient 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 EN1492-1 and/or lashing straps according to EN12195-2 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.

• Only use explosion-proof machines in the appropriate areas in accordance with

directive1999/92/EC or in accordance with the appropriate country regulations.

If the certi󹪝cation is supplemented by an X, comply with the special conditions in the EC type

examination certi󹪝cate or the IECEx Certi󹪝cate of Conformity. Certi󹪝cate with special

conditions (Page22)

• When installing electrical systems in hazardous zones, comply with EN/IEC 60079-14 and the

corresponding country regulations.

• Take into account thermal transfer between the driven load and the machine. Carefully

ensure that permissible temperatures are maintained.
