ATEX Regarding this manual Regarding this manual These instructions contain necessary information for the safe operation of the angle gear TK areas with explosion hazards, referred to as gearhead in the following. The operator must make sure that this operating manual is read through by all persons assigned to install, operate, or maintain the gearhead, and that they understand them.
Regarding this manual ATEX Design of the safety instructions The safety instructions of this operating manual are designed according to the following pattern: A = Safety symbol (see Chapter 1.2 "Safety symbols") B = Signal word (see Chapter 1.1 "Signal words") C = Type and consequence of the danger D = Prevention of the danger Information symbols...
ATEX Safety Safety These instructions, especially the safety instructions and the rules and regulations valid for the operating site, must be observed by all persons working with the gearhead. In addition to the safety specifications mentioned in this operating manual, the general and also the local regulations on the prevention of accidents and on environmental protection should be observed.
- Operating the gearhead in an atmosphere whose ignition temperature lies under the temperature class specified on the type plate. - Modifications or reconstructions that have been executed without written approval of WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH General safety instructions Operating the gearhead in areas for which it is not approved can lead to explosions that can cause serious injuries and even death.

- Use sealing plates between motor flange and adapter plate to seal the through-holes of the adapter plate. Sealing plates are available upon request from WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. Weight The table "Tbl-5" specifies the gearhead dimensions with medium-sized adapter plate. If another adapter plate is mounted, the actual dimensions can deviate by up to 10%.
Check the completeness of the delivery against the delivery note. Missing parts or damage must be notified immediately in writing to the carrier, the insurance, or WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. Packaging The gearhead is delivered packed in foil and cardboard boxes.
ATEX Assembly Assembly Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Preparations Pressurized air can damage the gearhead seals. Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearhead. Directly sprayed cleaning agents can alter the frictional values of the clamping hub.

Assembly ATEX If the motor shaft has a feather key, remove the feather key. If recommended by the motor manufacturer, apply a half wedge. Remove the plug (D) from the mounting bore in the adaptor plate (B). Under no circumstance remove the plug (E) in the ...
Startup and operation ATEX Startup and operation Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Operating the gearhead in areas for which it is not approved can lead to explosions that can cause serious injuries and even death. Make sure that the gearhead is only used in those areas for which it is ...
- Co-riding the gearhead on the drive axle is prohibited. Exceptions require a written approval and technical statement from WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. - Use during permanent operation (S1 operation: power-on time greater than 60% or longer than 20 minutes)
"Cymex®" design or total catalogue: Chapter "Information" or "Detailed construction"). - At the latest after a total of 20,000 operating hours. Alternatively, the gearhead can be checked by WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH and if necessary, released for further operation. en-18...
ATEX Maintenance and disposal Startup after maintenance work Clean the outside of the gearhead. Attach all safety devices. Do a trial run before releasing the gearhead again for operation. Maintenance schedule Maintenance work After After every 500 Every 5,000 Every 10,000 initial...
Malfunctions ATEX Malfunctions Changed operational behavior can be an indication of existing damage to the gearhead or cause damage to the gearhead. Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been rectified. Rectifying of malfunctions may be done by only by especially trained technicians.
