This chapter describes the safety instructions you have to heed for a safe and hazard-
free use of the Hygienic Design Planetary Gearbox. It points out possible sources of
danger and necessary safety measures.
Observe the technical data!
Observe the technical data and the installation details (rating plate and documentation).
If the permissible technical data are exceeded, permanent damage to the product may
occur and the warranty claim will be forfeited.
Draw up risk assessment after installation into the machine!
The machine manufacturer must draw up a risk assessment for the machine and take
suitable measures to prevent unexpected movements from causing personal injuries or
damage to property. Additional requirements on specialised personnel may possibly
arise from the risk assessment.
Secure feather key!
Remove or secure any shaft feather keys, if the gearbox is started up without coupled
load to prevent the feather key from being flung out and the associated injury hazard.
Avoid contact between dissimilar metals!
The gearbox casing consists of stainless steel. Prevent the gearbox from coming into
direct contact with more active metals such as aluminium or steel so as to prevent
contact corrosion. Contact corrosion may cause damage to the gearbox surfaces, which
in turn can lead to contamination of the end product.
Note: Please also select the corresponding tools for this.
