NOTICE
Damage to the bearing
Dismantling the rotor shipping brace when the machine is in a horizontal position could
damage the bearings.
Only remove the rotor shipping brace when the machine is in a vertical position.
NOTICE
Damage to the bearing
Failure to fit the rotor shipping brace can result in damage to the bearings while the machine
is being turned onto its side.
Fix the rotor in place before you turn the machine into a horizontal position.

Note
Machine expansion
When aligning, make allowance for the thermal expansion of the machine when the
temperature increases.
