2.1 Protective measures prior to transport

2.1.1 General

6 - Transport and Unpacking
The following protective measures are taken before delivery of the machine from the factory.
The same protective measures should be taken, whenever the machine is moved:
• Some machines, and all machines with sleeve or roller bearings, have transport locking
devices installed
• Ball and roller bearings are greased with lubricant indicated on the bearing plate, which is
attached to the machine frame, see Chapter 2.1.2 Bearing plate
• Machined metal surfaces, such as the shaft extension, are protected against corrosion with
an anti-corrosive coating
• In order to protect the machine properly against water, salt spray, moisture, rust and
vibration damages during loading, sea transport and unloading of the machine, the
machine should be delivered in a seaworthy package.
