(tectyl). Internal parts of the gear unit casings and drives are also protected with rust-inhibitor oil. Unless otherwise specified in the sales agreement, all gear units are supplied unlubricated; this is clearly stated on an adhesive label attached to the gear unit.

Dana Incorporatedproducts are packed and shipped in crates or on pallets, depending on the specific case. • Unless otherwise agreed in the sales agreement, all Dana Incorporated products are packed with wrapping that can with- stand normal industrial environments. HANDLING To move packaged gear units, use lifting equipment that is appropriate for the type of packaging and for which the capacity is clearly indicated.
Page 11
When gear units are packed on pallets, make sure that the lifting equipment does not damage the gear unit When lifting and moving packages, avoid any violent impacts or bumps. IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806) Dana Incorporated...

When stored for extended periods of more than six months, the rotating seals will deteriorate. It is recommended to check them periodically, turning the internal gears manually and rotating the input shaft. Replace the gaskets when the machine is eventually started up.

Do not store any other materials inside the packing. • Store the packing well away from pedestrian or vehicular traffic routes. • If possible, position wooden wedges between the bottom of the packing and the floor. Dana Incorporated IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806)
Do not carry out any welding work involving the gear unit, even as an earth point. NOTE: Dana Incorporated advises against filling its products with oil prior to installation. ASSEMBLY WITH REACTION ARM. Clean and degrease all surfaces of the gear unit and reaction arm to be coupled; lubricants or paints reduce the friction coeffi- cient, impeding the efficient operation of the application.

Secure the reaction rod to the machine structure (pos. 2) and tighten with anchor bolts (minimum recommended class 8.8) to the torque value indicated in "Values Table Torque Setting Bolts p. 32" (see Fig. 3). Dana Incorporated IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806)

If the gear unit works in the vertical plane with the relative output shaft facing downwards, make sure the joint cannot slip off and fall; whatever the case, never tighten the bolts before fitting the shaft in its seat. IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806) Dana Incorporated...

To make sure the female gear unit shaft is tight against the machine shaft use a threaded rod (pos. 4) of an appropriate size. Now insert the inner seeger retaining ring (pos. 5) then the backplate (pos. 3). Now when you tighten the threaded rod, the two shafts will abut against each other (see Fig. 16).

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Fig. 23 NOTE: Dana Incorporated recommends you assemble the motor with the central joint in position because in refitting it you could damage the rotating retaining ring. ACCESSORY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: To mount pinions, pulleys or couplings, use suitable equipment to avoid seizing; alternatively, you can heat the relative compo- nent to 80°...

We will look at these parameters one by one. VISCOSITY Dana Incorporated recommends gear oils with EP additive (Extreme Pressure) and 40° VG viscosity index of at least 150 cTS. Oil viscosity at operating temperature must always be greater than 50cTS.
(see Fig. 26). This should be repeated on a regular basis. When lubricating is done au- tomatically, a breather plug should be fitted to prevent any excess pressure from building up in the separate grease lubrication chamber. Dana Incorporated IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806)

Nm = torque setting bolts NO-LOAD TESTS • After a short running time (5-10 minutes), check oil levels under no-load conditions, topping up any that have gone down and checking that all anchor nuts and bolts are properly tightened. IMM-0005EN Posiplan (MT-5215-0806) Dana Incorporated...
UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Dana Incorporated prohibits the gear unit from being opened for anything else other than routine maintenance. Dana Incorpo- rated declines all liability for any injury to persons or damage to objects resulting from anything else other than routine mainte- nance.
Iron, aluminium and copper: being recyclable, these materials should be sent to an authorized disposal centre. • Plastic and rubber: must be taken to a dump or special recycling centre. • Used oils: take to special C.Di.R.A (used oil disposal centre in Italy).
