3.3 Transporting the gear unit
Danger!
To prevent injury, the danger area must be generously cordoned off. Standing under the
gear unit during transport is extremely dangerous.
Attention!
Avoid damage to the gear unit. Impacts to the free ends of the shafts may cause internal
damage to the gear unit.
Use adequately dimensioned and suitable means of transportation. Lifting tackle must be
designed for the weight of the gear unit. The weight of the gear unit can be obtained from the
dispatch documents.
The gear unit should remain on the transport packaging during transportation. It must be
transported without oil. Only the four ring bolts (1) provided may be used for transporting the
gear unit. For additional drive units and components, an additional lifting point may be
necessary. The ends of the shafts must not be used for transportation, as this may seriously
damage the gear unit. The ring bolts screwed into the gear unit must be used for transportation.
If geared motors have an additional eyebolt attached to the motor, this must not be used. When
lifting with the ring bolts, there must be no oblique force.
