Transport, installation and assembly

3.1

Transportation and storage

CAUTION
Damage during transporting
Do not operate a damaged motor!
Transporting
Improper transporting and lifting of the motor
The motors may only be transported and lifted in a horizontal position. The motors may only
be hoisted using the hoisting lugs provided on the stator housing. Use suitable strap
guiding or spreading devices. The weight of the motor is on the rating plate.
Observe the handling instructions on the motor when transporting it. Pay attention to the
permissible load of the sling ropes or lifting straps and the carrying capacity of the lifting
equipment.
Storage
The motor may only be stored in a temperature range from -20°C to +70°C. For water-cooled
versions, you must
● Drain the water for temperatures below 0°C and flush the cooling ducts with anti-freeze
● Seal the water connections with threaded plugs
Storing outdoors
Choose a dry storage location which is safe from flooding and free from vibrations. Repair
any damage to the packaging before putting the equipment in storage in so far as this is
necessary to ensure proper storage conditions. Position motors, devices and crates on
pallets, wooden beams or foundations that guarantee protection against ground dampness.
Prevent the motor sinking into the ground. Ensure that the air circulation under the
equipment is not impeded.
Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not make
contact with the surfaces of the equipment. Place wooden spacer blocks between the covers
and the motor. This ensures sufficient air circulation.
