work must be done at all on the drive. The drives must not be used as an earthing point for

welding operations.Toothed parts and bearings may be irreparably damaged by welding. All the fastening points provided by the design of

the unit must be used. Screws which have been damaged during assembly or disassembly work must be replaced with new

ones of the same strength class and type. To ensure proper lubrication, the installation position specified in the order must

always be observed. 6.2 Installation Remove packaging material and transporting equipment. Perform visual check for any damage and contamination. If there is any visible damage, the gear unit must not be put into operation. The instructions in section 4, "Transport, handling and storage", must be observed.Caution! Caution! Caution! Caution! 1 / 3BA 5 EN 1.0.3 Installation of gear unit on housing base 6.3.1 Foundation The foundation must be horizontal and level; the gear unit must not be excessively stressed when tightening the fastening screws. It must be designed in such way that no resonance vibrations are set up and that no vibrations are transmitted from adjacent foundations. Steel structures on which the unit is to be mounted must be rigid. It must be designed according to the mass and torque, taking into account the forces acting on the gear unit. When fastening the gear unit to concrete foundations by means of stone bolts and/or foundation blocks, suitable recesses should be made in the foundation. Fastening bolts or nuts must be tightened to the prescribed torque. For the correct torque, refer to item 6.7. Bolts of the minimum strength class 8.8 must be used. Slide rails should be correctly aligned and embedded in the concrete foundation.Note: For dimensions, space requirement and applications arrangement, refer to the drawings in the gearunit documentation. 6.3.2 Description of installation work Remove the anticorrosion paint on the shafts with suitable cleaning agent such as benzine.
