Storing The Gear Unit; Standard Coating And Corrosion Prevention - Siemens KMS Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

4.3

Storing the gear unit

The gear unit must be stored with a cover, placed on a vibration-free dry base in a sheltered place, in the
position of the original packaging or in the position of use. Any storage methods deviating from this affect
the durability period of the gear unit preservation (see item 4.4).
NOTICE
Property damage
Any damage to the coating may cause the failure of the exterior protective coating and consequently
lead to corrosion.
When temporarily storing the gear unit and any components supplied with it, the applied corrosion
protection has to be preserved.
Ensure that the coat is not damaged.
DANGER
Danger to life from the gear unit toppling or dropping
Risk of being crushed or struck by a gear unit toppling or dropping.
Do not stack gear units on top of one another.
NOTICE
Property damage
Damage to the gear unit by deposit of foreign matter or moisture. If the gear unit is stored outdoors, it
must be covered particularly carefully and it must be ensured that neither moisture nor foreign material
can collect on the unit.
Waterlogging must be avoided.
NOTICE
Property damage
Damage to the gear unit from external effects.
Unless agreed otherwise by contract, the gear unit must not be exposed to harmful effects, such as
chemically aggressive products.
Special environmental conditions during transport (e.g. transport by ship) and storage (climate,
termites) must be agreed on by contract.
4.4

Standard coating and corrosion prevention

The gear unit is to be provided with interior preservation on delivery (see "Technical data" in the gear unit
documentation prepared specifically for the order), and the free shaft ends are to be provided with
protective preservation (see Table 2 in item 4.4.1.1).
The properties of the exterior preservation when using a Siemens standard priming are resistant to:
─ weak acids and alkalis
─ solvents
─ weathering, also tropical
─ temperatures up to 120 °C / 248 °F (for short periods up to 140 °C / 284 °F)
If a different exterior coating is intended by the customer (contrary to the Siemens standard), the protection
of the external coating will be within the customer's responsibility.
