DANGER
Danger to life from switched on system
For carrying out work on the gear unit, the gear unit and an added on or separate oil-supply system must
generally be set in standstill.
The drive unit must be secured against accidental start-up (e. g. by locking the key switch or removing
the fuses from the power supply).
Attach a notice on the start switch stating clearly that work is in progress on the gear unit.
At the same time, the complete system must be free from load so that no danger is caused during the
disassembly work.
• No welding work may be done at all on the drive.
The drive systems must not be used as an earthing point for electric-welding operations. Toothed parts
and bearings can be irreparably damaged by welding.
