Standard Coating And Preservation; Interior Preservation With Preservative Agent - Siemens FLENDER H3LV Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

4.4

Standard coating and preservation

The gear unit is provided with an interior preservative agent; the free shaft ends are painted for protection.
The characteristics of the exterior coat depend on the ambient conditions stipulated in the order relating
to method of transport and area of application.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit through corrosion.
The gear unit is normally delivered completely ready, with a priming and a finish coat.
Where gear units are delivered with a priming coat only, it is necessary to apply a finish coat in
accordance with directives applying to the specific application.
The priming coat alone is not suitable to provide a sufficient long­term corrosion protection.
NOTICE
Material damage
Any damage to the coating may cause failure of the exterior protective coating and thus corrosion.
Ensure that the coat is not damaged.
Note
Unless otherwise contractually agreed, the durability periods of the interior gear unit preservation
specified in table 3 will apply, provided the related measures are adhered to. The durability period for the
exterior preservation and the related requirements can be found in table 4.
The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery or that of the notice that the item is ready for shipment.
In case of a storage period other than the durability periods indicated in tables 3 and in table 4, the interior
and the exterior preservation must be checked and, as necessary, be renewed (see items 7.6.1 and 7.6.2).
