Transport and storage

When carrying out any work on the machine, observe the general safety instructions
(Page 77) and the specifications contained in EN 50110-1 regarding safe operation
of electrical equipment.
WARNING
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.
•
WARNING
Toppling over or slipping of the motor
The motor can slide or topple over if it is not correctly lifted or transported. This can
result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
Use all the lifting eyes on the machine.
•
When using the lifting eyes on the machine, do not attach any additional loads
•
or weight. The lifting eyes are only designed for the weight of the machine itself.
Any eyes that are screwed in must be tightly fastened.
•
Eyebolts must be screwed in right up to their supporting surface.
•
Comply with the permissible eyebolt loads.
•
When necessary, use suitably dimensioned transport equipment, for example
•
hoisting straps (EN1492-1) and load restraints (EN12195-2).
Note
When lifting the machines for transport, only lift them in a position that corresponds to
their basic construction type.
The type of construction of the machine is stated on the rating plate.
