Delivery 
Checking the delivery for completeness 
The drive systems are put together on an individual basis. When you take receipt of the 
delivery, please check immediately whether the items delivered are in accordance with the 
accompanying documents. Siemens will not accept any claims relating to items missing from 
the delivery and which are submitted at a later date. 
●  Report any apparent transport damage to the delivery agent immediately. 
●  Report any apparent defects/missing components to the appropriate SIEMENS office 
immediately. 
Archive the safety and commissioning notes provided in the scope of delivery as well as the 
optionally available operating instructions so that these documents are always easily 
accessible. 
The rating plate optionally enclosed as a loose item with the delivery is provided to enable 
the motor data to be attached on or near the machine or installation. 
 
Observe the following when carrying out any work on the machine: 
●  Comply with the general safety instructions (Page 11) 
●  Comply with the applicable national and sector-specific regulations. 
●  When using the machine within the European Union, comply with the specifications laid 
down in EN 50110-1 regarding safe operation of electrical equipment. 
 
Risk of dropping and swinging when transported suspended 
If you transport the motor suspended from cables or ropes, the cables or ropes can break, 
e.g. as a result of damage. Further, if not adequately attached, the motor can swing. This 
can result in death, serious injury, or material damage. 
•  Use additional, suitable lifting equipment for transport and during installation. 
•  Two cables alone must be able to carry the complete load. 
•  Prevent the lifting equipment from sliding by appropriately securing it. 
•  When using 2-cable lifting equipment, ensure that the maximum angle of inclination is 
≤45° according to ISO 3266 (DIN 580). 
•  Align the eyebolts so that the cables used for lifting are aligned with the planes of the 
eyebolts.
