NOTICE
Property damage
Damage to the gear unit from corrosion is possible.
The gear unit is normally delivered completely ready with a priming and a finishing coat.
Where gear units are delivered with a priming coat only, it is necessary to apply a finishing coat
according to the standard procedures relevant for the specific application.
The priming coat alone is not suitable to provide sufficient long-term corrosion protection.
Note
The coating complies with the requirements for the conductivity of the coating and the limitation of the
layer thickness of the applied coating according to the standard "DIN EN 13463-1". Electrostatic
charging is not expected if coatings have a thickness of < 200 μm. Where gear units are delivered with
a priming coat only, it is necessary to apply a finishing coat according to the standard procedures
relevant for the specific application.
The priming coat alone is not suitable to provide sufficient long-term corrosion protection.
DANGER
Electrostatic discharge
Danger to life from ignition of present explosive atmosphere by electrostatic discharge.
The coating must not carry an electrostatic charge.
The operator must ensure that highly effective mechanisms which can set up a charge in the coating
are safely avoided.
Note
Examples of highly effective charge-generating mechanisms are:
– the rapid passage of heavily dust-laden air near by
– the sudden escape of particle-laden compressed gases
– other heavy friction action (not manual cleaning or rubbing with cleaning cloths)
NOTICE
Property damage
Any damage to the coating may cause the failure of the exterior protective coating and consequently
lead to corrosion.
Ensure that the coat is not damaged.
Note
Corrosion prevention durations of the interior preservation depend on the kind of transport, type of
packaging and the place of installation and/or storage (see Table 3 in item 4.4.2.1).
The durability period of the exterior preservation and the related requirements can be found in Table 2
under item 4.4.1.1.
The warranty starts upon notification of readiness for delivery (see "Technical data" in the gear unit
documentation). The provided interior gear unit preservation is also shown in "Technical data".
When storing differently from the durability periods of preservation as specified in Tables 2 and 3
applicable for the gear unit, the interior preservation must be prolonged (see item 4.4.3) and if necessary,
the exterior preservation must be renewed (see item
Each prolongation of the interior preservation and any renewal of the exterior preservation must be logged.
Note
The record must be kept with these instructions.
4.4.1).
