Preparing for use
WARNING
Use lifting eyes
The machine must only be transported and lifted using the lifting eyes, in a position
that is appropriate for its type of construction. Otherwise, it could fall over or slip in
the lifting tackle.
This can result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
● Use all the lifting eyes on the machine.
● Any eyes that are screwed in must be tightly fastened.
● Eyebolts must be screwed in right up to their supporting surface.
● If necessary, use suitable, sufficiently-sized transport equipment such as lifting
straps (EN1492-1) and lashing straps (EN12195-2).
WARNING
Suspended transport
If several items of transport material are used for fastening, two straps must be able
to carry the whole load.
● Use additional, suitable means of support for transport and during installation.
● Secure the support equipment to prevent it from slipping.
Storage time
Turn the shafts 1x every year to avoid bearing brinelling. Prolonged storage periods
reduce the useful life of the bearing grease (aging).
Open bearings
● For open bearings e.g. 1Z, check the state of the bearing grease over 12 months.
● Replace the grease if it can be identified that the grease has lost oil content or
has become dirty (ingress of condensation leads to consistency changes of the
grease).
Closed bearings
● For closed bearings, replace the DE and NDE bearings after a storage time of 48
months
