Transport and storage ATEX Transport and storage Packaging The gearbox is delivered packed in foil and cardboard boxes. Dispose of the packaging materials at the recycling sites intended for this purpose. Observe the applicable national regulations concerning disposal. Transport Suspended loads can fall and can cause serious injuries and even death.
ATEX Transport and storage Storage Store the gearbox in horizontal position and dry surroundings at a temperature of 0 °C to +40 °C in the original packaging. Store the gearbox for a maximum of 2 years. Consult our Customer Service department if the conditions are different.
Assembly ATEX Assembly Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General safety instructions"). If you have questions about correct mounting, consult our Customer Service department. Preparations Pressurized air can damage the gearbox seals. Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearbox.
Place an appropriate sealing ring between adapter plate and motor for gearboxes in Hygienic Design to avoid leaks. In addition, WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers a suitable sealing plate. The tightening torque value [TA] of the clamping bolt [H] can be found on the clamping hub [C].
Assembly ATEX If the clamping bolt [H ] is loosened too far or removed, the clamping ring [I] can rotate on the clamping hub. Align it so that the clamping bolt [H ] is in the keyway of the clamping hub (see table "Tbl-10").

WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers corresponding mounting kits for gearboxes in Hygienic Design. The separate instructions "Hygienic Design Instruction Sheet, Mounting Kit" (Doc. no.
Assembly ATEX Slide the washers onto the fastening screws. Fasten the gearbox to the machine with the fastening screws through the slotted holes [M]. Pinning the mounted and aligned gearbox (optional) Optionally, there are two bore holes [N] on the gear housing for pinning the gearbox to the machine.
WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers corresponding mounting kits for gearboxes in Hygienic Design. The separate instructions "Hygienic Design Instruction Sheet, Mounting Kit" (Doc. no. 2022–D062618) are valid for this. The manual will be provided by our Sales / Customer Service department on request.
Startup and operation ATEX Startup and operation Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General safety instructions"). Operating the gearbox in areas for which it is not approved can lead to explosions that may cause serious injuries and even death. Ensure that the gearbox is only used in those areas for which it is ...
ATEX Startup and operation Checking run-in behavior Make sure there is no explosive atmosphere during the test. After 4 running hours in maximum operating conditions, check the gearbox for leakage between gear and motor and on the output shaft seal. Measure the surface temperature at two points on the gear housing (on near the drive ...
