Transport for a different type of construction
If you do not transport or lift the machine in a position appropriate for its construction, the
machine can tip, slip into the lifting equipment or fall down. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
● Use only the load carrying device on the stator frame for lifting.
● Use the load carrying device appropriate for the machine position.
● Only use suitable rope guiding or spreading devices.
Center of gravity not centered
If the center of gravity of a load is not located centrally between the attachment points, the
machine can tip over or slip out of the lifting equipment and fall when it is being transported
or lifted. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Comply with the handling instructions on the machine when transporting it.
● Be aware of the possibility of different loads on the sling ropes or lifting straps and the
● Always take account of the center of gravity when transporting or lifting the machine. If

Securing the rotor
Depending on the version, the machine is fitted with a rotor shipping brace. This protects the
bearings against damage due to shock and vibration during transport or storage.
NOTICE
Vibration and shock during transport
Not using the rotor shipping brace can cause damage to the machine if it is jolted during
transport. Material damage can result.
● If the machine is fitted with a rotor shipping brace, this should always be used when
● Only remove it before pulling on the output element.

– Do not remove the rotor shipping brace until the machine is in a vertical position.
– If a machine has to be transported in a horizontal position, the rotor must be fixed in
position before the machine is turned onto its side. Vertical machines can be supplied
in the horizontal position from the manufacturing plant.
